Comme Ca didn't make Frank Bruni's "Coast to Coast" list, but he gives it a two-post treatment on his blog. Today, a seemingless endless report of what it's like to wait for a resrevation at a new hot spot during prime time on a weekend night, as if they have no such thing in New York: "During our wait, we couldn’t get close enough to a bartender to ask for a drink. And we had to keep reminding the disaffected hostess that we had a reservation and what time it was for. And-and-and we had to keep moving around to stay out of servers’ paths. I felt sorrier for them than I did for us. At least we had the entertainment of the flummoxed foursome standing near us." Tomorrow, he'll get to the actual review. [Diner's Journal]
