In Ryan Murphy’s pilot episode Quarrel: Capot vs Hans, The Truman Capot (starred by Tom Hollander) is having lunch with his glamorous high society pulse (“swans”) in La Cota Basque, when he is charged by a fierce An Woodward (Demi Moore), which throws a drink on his face. Wiping the wine, he declares with a gig, “I want sweets and maybe stop for dinner, I can’t even consider returning to the real world.” Perhaps this is actually a sign of a good restaurant.
While the series contains elements of woven narrative, based on true events, one aspect that did not require any exaggeration, this social circle had the role of La quota basket and its comparable fashionable restaurant.
Barbara “Babe” Pale, Nancy “Slim” Keith, Lucy Douglas “CZ” guest and Li Redzville had more than just one place to eat in the 1960s and 1970s – they were a sanctuary for women who ruled the New York Samaj. Colony Club, Le Pavilon, Quo Wadis and La Cota Basque all gave these socialites a transient break from their glamorous life so far.
As Capot told the world in the “La Cota Basque, 1965”, however, the life of his swans was often away from the ideal. For Capot, restaurants and women were the correct source of fodder for the revival of their careers, but after the short story was published Sir (This was the first chapter in his intended Roman e Cleif, unanswered prayers, What had never ended), he spent her friendship with this prestigious group.
But back to restaurant! If you find yourself thinking about the modern day of La quota basket, then we have covered you.
So, where will Hans go to eat today? Some of his final remaining victims in New York City recently closed, including La Grenouil and 21 clubs. (La Cota Basque closed its doors after 45 years of business in 2004.) However, there is a select group of new restaurants (including some, which will require a vengele below the 52nd street) that have been opened over the years, and will be perfect for women of lunch.
