Aleta LaFargue responded, when we asked all six New York City Council District 3 candidates for their favorite small businesses in Council District 3, whose seat they are currently in the running for. Watch this space for more from LaFargue and the other five candidates—all of whom encourage those of us who are able to shop local, and on a regular basis. As NYC looks toward recovering from the pandemic era, we all have a part to play in making sure our mom-and-pop shops stay exactly where they are.

“I love its classic charm and the legacy Jean Claude left behind. He was the onetime manager of Josephine Baker [who called him the 13th of her adopted Baker’s Dozen], and would host dinners for many of the volunteers who worked with the Manhattan Plaza AIDS project. Upon his death, he left the restaurant to the men who had worked for him all those years. The moment you walk in, you’re instantly transported to Paris. It’s delightful.”—Aleta LaFargue
