Before Winter’s end, I thought I should perhaps share with you this charming and cozy spot that Chéri and I had drinks at a few weeks ago. The Westin hotel has a bar that I like to go to in the winter, but they added a Winter garden this year. In their atrium that is open to the sky they installed cozy heat laps, faux lawn, faux furs on the chairs, and poof! it’s a magic winter wonderland to have a cocktail and pretend you are on an outdoor terrace at some ski mountain. The only thing missing this year : the snow. New england got dumped upon, but all we got was rain after the météo had crossed the Atlantic.

Head over for an early evening glass of wine or a cocktail, chill amongst the décor recherché, and pretend like winter happened in Paris this year! and let’s move on to Spring, as soon as you have been there. Cheers!

What I love :

• The Pouilly Fumé on the wine list
• The faux fur on the chairs
• The numerous and toasty heat lamps
• The feeling of being on an outdoor terrace without the noise and smell of traffic
• The apéro snacks are delicious and come with drinks!
