January Supper Club with the Good Girls

There is hardly another hidey-hole in the city that has more classic romantic flair than Good Girls Go to Paris Crepes in Midtown. With the waitresses all dressed as English maids, the walls adorned with vintage film posters (from owner Torya’s own collection), black and white tile floors reminiscent of a timeless London ballroom, and candy heart-red walls, Good Girls exudes an aura of romance fit just as much for the silver screen as for the City of Light.

“This creperie is very me; it’s my idea of heaven,” says Torya Blanchard, owner of Good Girls Go to Paris Crepes.  And she has much to be proud of: her business has recently been profiled by both the New York Times and the New York Post as one of the businesses resuscitating the city of Detroit, showing that an entrepreneurial spirit still survives here despite hard times.  But such high-profile coverage hasn’t affected the quaint charm of this cute creperie.



 

The first Supper Club of 2010 will be held on Wednesday, January 27th at 7:00PM at  Good Girls Go to Paris Crepes located at 15 E. Kirby, inside the Park Shelton building.  With the day for lovers fast approaching, it seemed only appropriate that Supper Club visit the place where amore might as well be on the menu!


Feel free to sample any one (or two, or three!) of the 50 different crepes offered with a variety of sweet, savory, vegan, whole wheat, and gluten-free options to choose from!  Good Girls also serves the fair trade Intelligentsia brand coffee and espresso.  (Please note: Good Girls does not serve alcohol.)  The menu is separated into two halves, the “Right Bank” (sweet) and “Left Bank” (savory) named for Paris’s division of arrondissements by the Seine River.  Each crepe is named after one of the cherished females in Torya’s life—the “good girls.”  Hence, Good Girls Go to Paris! (Which is actually the name of a classic comedy film from 1939.)  You can also build your own from their list of ingredients.  Crepes range from $4.50-$7.00 and are ample for one person.


Because of extremely limited capacity, this will be another non-traditional Supper Club event.  There is a strict 20-person limit.  You MUST RSVP to supperclub@detroitsynergy.org in advance. 

 

There is no pre-payment or prix fixe menu for this event; diners will be billed individually at the restaurant. 

 

Email supperclub@detroitsynergy.org with any questions.  Please pass this information on to your friends, family, and coworkers, and anyone else interested in Detroit dining!
