Le Coupe!

On Thursday, we ventured out to the Lair Hill neighborhood to check out Le Coupe, a new champagne bar! We heard about it from the marvelous Shelly Rudolph, who was planning to host a piano bar/singalong that night but unfortunately had to call out sick. The equally marvelous Paul Ward led gracefully from the keyboard and we had a truly magical evening. The place seats about 25 people and is a classy but unpretentious spot with nice marble tables, a lovely selection of bubbly, cocktails, and N/A drinks, and warm, friendly staff (and they put potato chips on your table! Pairs remarkably well with bubbly!). It was full of folks there to listen and to sit in and we met some fabulous singers and a wonderful trumpet player (Derek Becker). Paul called us up to do some tunes (the only time he got a break!) and we played a couple of originals and later did a standard. Cheers!
