Falling Water

Published on Thursday, October 11, 2007, by Aida Mollenkamp / Edit Post

In many high-end restaurants, asking for tap water instead of a fancy bottled option seems to carry a mark of shame—even though it’s better for the environment and it tastes fine. Some restaurants are taking the responsible route and serving tap water in style. At a recent night out at Providence in LA, the server poured me water from a pitcher by the beloved designer Michael Aram. Suddenly my water choice of taking back the tap went from shabby to sophisticated.

  • Pierre Gagnaire in Paris gives out free mineral water.

  • Dude! I am so for it! We are being charged up to $5. for a bottled water when we ask for "water" to drink! I just completed a letter to a local restaurant where I spent nearly $15 for water for our part of 10, telling them I would not be back unless this policy changes.

  • oui, c'est moi.

  • Cheri Bibi?? A Paris?!

  • AMEN! Now, if we could just get people to stop foolishly purchasing it in convenience stores...
