PARIS, FRANCE (November 16, 2025) — It has been quite a hot streak for me: Westchester Power… Dead. Flowers Park RFP… Dead. Flavio La Rocca Land Grab… Dead. Phil Colasuonno $2.7 mm Tax Scam… Dead.

I am going to celebrate with a few well-deserved days off. I have owed my better half a trip to Paris since 2023 when I diverted our planned Paris visit to Bordeaux for the Rugby World Cup. Plans for this trip include the rebuilt Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, Hôtel des Invalides (Napoleon’s Tomb), Musée D'Orsay and Palais Garnier to see the Opéra National de Paris production of Le Noces de Figaro. Also known as Opéra Garnier, it is most famous opera house in the world, the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera.
