I have so many wonderful memories of Brennan's so it is hard to describe just one - but here is the first one that comes to mind: I first went to Brennan's during my senior year in high school (1979). I had a date with the president of my school's French Club who had also been one of my best friends since 1st grade. He has since passed away, so the fact that he took me Brennan's for the French Club banquet is exceptionally special. The banquet was in the beautiful large party room upstairs. I wore a great slinky black dress and he wore a dark suit. The meal was pre-selected, so I didn't know what I was eating. It wasn't until I had devoured my bowl of turtle soup that my date told me what I was eating. Being a naive young girl who had not dined out very much, I was a bit squeamish about having just eaten turtle. I quickly got over it. I have been eating turtle soup at Brennan's ever since (30 yrs) and have absolutely no qualms about it. I can't wait for the reopening - the hardest decision will be what to have for dessert - turtle soup is a given!
