Le Select est une brasserie parisienne fondée en 1923 dans le 6e arrondissement au 99, boulevard du Montparnasse, dans le quartier Notre-Dame-des-Champs. Il fut notamment un des lieux de rendez-vous de l’intelligentsia parisienne de l’entre-deux-guerres.
Locate in the 14th, the food was wonderful, and the atmosphere historic.

Arthur Avenue is a street in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City, which serves as the center of the Bronx’s “Little Italy”. Although the historical and commercial center of Little Italy is Arthur Avenue itself, the area stretches across East 187th Street from Arthur Avenue to Beaumont Avenue, and is similarly lined with delis, bakeries, cafes and various Italian merchants.
The Bronx’s Little Italy has an Italian immigrant heritage that dates back to the 1850s. Arthur Avenue and Morris Park are viewed as the Bronx’s primary Italian American communities. Other Italian American communities in the Bronx are the middle and upper class neighborhoods of Schuylerville and Country Club. The avenue itself is named for former U.S. president Chester A. Arthur.
I had the good fortune to have dinner at Pasquale’s Rigoletto with a few friends while traveling in New York.
