On a hot summer day it is easy to think about cool places. Distant locations come to mind but also do dark wood-paneled restaurants and bars that bring relief from the sun and heat. In New York, what is cooler than the Polo Bar. What I find interesting is that in the winter these dark wood spaces feel warm and cozy, protecting us from the bitter cold of winter. Maybe that is why in the spring and fall I often gravitate to lovely patios and terraces for lunch and dinner. The Polo Bar is an extension of the Ralph Lauren international brand. The Polo Bar has also become a New York institution because of the number of celebrities and friends of Ralph Lauren who join him at the Polo Bar. The incredible Nelly Moudime, the maître d’, contributes to the Polo Bar becoming a New York institution as she extends the warmth and style of Ralph Lauren himself.

The most popular and successful restaurants in Dallas like Cafe Pacific and Javier’s are not extensions of a national brand but are Dallas institutions. Cafe Pacific and Javier’s are owned by Highland Park and Preston Hollow homeowners respectively. They attract celebrities and a prominent clientele with international reputations. Those at the front of the house express the quality, warmth and style of their owners as well. And, like the Polo Bar, they have dark stained wood featured in the interiors – that are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They also both have glorious patios and terraces.

In the mean time I will head through Paris to cooler temperatures and maybe I will see some Ralph Lauren Olympic attire in transit. *Cool Space
