Fruit (and orchid!) salad at Norma’s, Le Parker Meridien, NYC

You know, once you’ve been served fruit salad with an orchid artfully arranged in the middle of it, it is very hard to eat just plain fruit salad. Something seems to be missing without an exotic bloom rearing its fragrant head from amongst the berries and melon.

The saddest thing is leaving the orchid behind on your plate when you go, it being winter in New York and you not being the kind of girl to walk around with a flower tucked behind your ear.
