Last week Marian Burrows wrote in the New York Times on the subject of New York tap water. Restaurants may be forced to switch from bottled water to the local brew to save the environment from excess throw away glass bottles.
Chez Panisse in Berkeley, always a leader in the restaurant world, has already switched.
In Paris, tap water is one of the delights of the restaurant tabletop in my opinion.
I love the variety and glitter glass carafes add...
Even plain old Belgian chain Leon's has a beautiful luminous carafe...
I WILL paint this! soon...
Paris restaurants have served carafe d'eau of local tap water for eons.
And why is this you ask?
Visit any Parisian's home and you'll see bottled water lined up like soldiers in the kitchen.
And super marches are full of more brands than you can imagine.
The reason is, because when eating out,
The French know that wine costs less than BOTTLED water!
So if you're trying to "pass", order that carafe d'eau or un verre d'eau!!!
I love Paris tap because my watercolor paints love it.
They jump around and flow in a way they don't behave on the home front.
Maybe I do too :)
Some say it's perhaps the excess calcium.
I've tried all kinds of concoctions and gotten lots of chemical advice, even adding Champagne chalk and baking soda to New York tap...
So far the best I've done is sneak home one little bottle of Paris Tap...
I emptied my Vitel in the AirFrance lounge and refilled it with the REAL stuff!
But supplies are getting low...
Anyway I'm all for New York restaurants adding lovely glass carafes to their tables.
Go for it New York!
