April in Paris


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters go with reusable utensils, in a year we'll keep almost 1.5 mil disposable knives, forks, spoons, and sporks outta landfills.

Cocktail Tidbit
Thomas Edison used a carbonized bamboo filament in his first light bulb, which is still burning today inside the Smithsonian.

Wanna really know the charm of spring but can’t make it to Paris (quel dommage)? Pay a visit to French housewares company Genevieve Lethu, which recently opened its first U.S. location on Michigan Ave. with a full scope of Euro-style kitchen tools and table decor. We’re très excité about the washable and reusable bamboo cutlery - part of GL’s new, chic green line - which is a wiser (and more renewable) option than grandma’s silver for spring outdoor dining. The recycled glassware – pitchers, water and wine glasses - plus tall and handsome green recycled-glass vases got our hearts singing (just like Ella’s)…really, who needs Paris?

Wanna Try?
Genevieve Lethu, 900 N. Michigan Ave. b/t Delaware and Walton Pls. (312-423-9948). Set of 10 bamboo forks, $10; recycled glass vase, $17.
