Parigot, with Iridesco

It's a lousy day to wander around for a birthday lunch, but the perfect day to pop on down the block to Parigot with our favorite neighborhood lunchmates, Iridesco. Parigot seems rather out of place on the corner of Grand and Lafayette so we were happy to discover moderately priced, very solid French bistro food. Of everything we tried, the merguez sandwiches were most satisfying, with a spicy kick. We might just be back here again.
