It’s no wonder that comedy picks Fairfield

County and Westchester County as targets

for humor.

 

We’re easy to make fun of.

 

While the rest of the world is being

foreclosed upon and unemployed,

life goes on in its same pristine way

in Greenwich.  Yes, a little belt-tightening

for sure, but still holding on to that

semblance of sophistication that we’ve

always had.

 

The contrast between what some people

buy with their dollars (Walmart) and what

people buy in Greenwich is interesting.

 

Restaurant Jean-Louis is a delight.  But if

you order 10 pigs in a blanket there, you’ll

pay 20 bucks. 

 

Even take-out in Greenwich is expensive.

Take the to-go Valentine menu:

Foie Gras

Pistachio pate

Vegetables with hot pepper vinaigrette

Vermont quail

Lobster stuffing

Asparagus

Au gratin potato

Cognac sauce

Fresh roll

Bread of fruits

Mousse of chocolate

Fresh strawberries 

No doubt a delightful meal, but it will

set you back a hundred dollars.

 

This is not a town for those of light-weight

financial means, that’s for sure.
