By Zoey Poll Seen from Paris’s Pont de la Tournelle, the eight-story facade of the landmark restaurant La Tour d’Argent looks about the same as it did when its third-generation owner André Terrail grew up there in the 1980s, deploying toy parachutists into quayside traffic. But the interior is no longer indifferent to the 21st…
I’ll start with an apology, because you’ve been cheated out of your weekly Tanya-mail. Instead you’re stuck with me, Becky, a known vegetable eater and one of the twisted minds behind @nytcooking’s social accounts. Consider doing me a solid and peeking at our Instagram, TikTok and YouTube channels? I’d like to dedicate this platform to…
