Le Petit Auberge Est Fini

As reported by Lost City (link above), Le Petit Auberge is closing its doors on October 8th. The owners want to retire.
When I first moved to New York, I reconnected with my oldest friend, Annie Hunter. We'd been friends as children in Cleveland. She moved here to work in magazine publishing, and I came for the theatre. One night her mother was in town, and Mrs. Hunter took us out for dinner to Le Petit Auberge, where she had gone when she was right of of college and working in publishing. Mrs. Hunter died a few weeks ago, so I've been thinking about her and that dinner a lot lately.
When I was older, I went to Le Petit Auberge for birthdays, wedding anniversaries, a few Christmas Eves. I've been going there my entire adult life. And I've never been able to replicate their Sauce Bernaise.

I do not even get how I arrived up here, however I thought this document was great.I don't know your history but undeniably you are gonna be a famed writer if you aren't yet Cheers!

As a final point , let me thank you for your patience with my English as (I am positive you have figured this by now,), English is not my chief language as a result I am utilizing Google Translate to figure out what to enter what I really plan to voice.
