Sometimes you can never go back.

About a million years ago Jason and I went to Paris and fell in love with the city. Our brave ignorance lent us a flashy little neighbourhood and our reckless abandon led us to Man Ray's. We overheard a real french beauty exlaim to some irish bachelor party that this was the place to go. So we went there. And I see now we can never go back. It's sad but I am happy that my husband's sense of adventure surfaced long enough to force me down that long red velvet corridor into this magic little moment that could never be again. Thanks honey.



"This restaurant, located in an old movie theater, opened with a big bang about a decade ago. Close to the Champs Elysées, Man Ray cateeds to the in crowd. Johnny Depp, John Malkovich, Sean Penn, and Mick Hucknall (Simply Red) were partners in the business.

The décor was pseudo-nouveau-Asian meets bordello deco, and everything was done on the grand scale. The place evolved and became known as "The World Place." Now, apparently, no longer open to the public, it is called "Le 1515" and available for lease for weddings, large banquets, etc.Trendy comes, and trendy goes!"
