La Rentrée September 2021
09 . 08 . 21I’ve always loved the French phrase la rentrée which means the reentry. It encompasses back to school and back to work as everyone returns from their August holidays and tries to get back on track.

La Rentrée September 2020
09 . 08 . 20La Rentrée or the reentry period after summer is my favorite time of year because it means that life begins again in earnest in New York.
