But there was a time not long ago when a little old French lady owned it and you could get a fantastic steak supper there that began with hot baguettes, salad of your choice, soup, a steak that was bigger than the plate it was on, three vegetables, and desert, (if you could still get it in you) for around $25.00 USD, and that included a beer.  I miss that lady!

This building is 123 years old and boasts a new bronze plaque, the old one stated that Charles Dickens stayed here, (in the former hotel on this spot) during his tour of America.

After your meal it was a good idea to take a walk in the park across the street before driving home.

Having just gone a month shooting with my 20-35mm Nikkor f2.8 D, that's what I chose for these also.

Bart, I tried these in color, but they were not nearly as impressive as B&W.  I like how the last image of the park pulls me in, almost like 3-D.  The color lacked that.
