MAID'S NIGHT OUT?

Back in the Olden Golden days when there were live-in maids (politically incorrect term that is now called "housekeeper"), Thursday night was unofficially known as MNO.  The restaurants were packed with diners who wouldn't be caught dead being out on the weekend.  The weekends were for "getting away" or dining at home.  This past Tuesday we went to the Sunset Strip restaurant Le Petit Four for a quiet dinner with F and R.  The restaurant is a convivial and casual place originally owned by a former boyfriend of Princess Stephanie of Monaco.  This particular Tuesday it was not full but the crowd was interesting.  We ran into friends and acquaintances such as: J, a famous dress designer, S, the recent widow of a producer whom I knew from Paris and LA, and B, a well known coiffeur.  Seated next to us was a charming young couple from Melbourne Australia.  She was lovely and quite animated and he good looking and jet lagged.  Conversation was lively and the wine was flowing.  Unbelievably, it was only 10PM when we left the restaurant but it has been a stimulating evening.  Could Tuesday be the new Thursday?
