The Odeon (New York) Once, there was an edgy part of town, not really anyplace, with a funny name that was trying too hard. Where was it anyway? Washington Market? The Lower West Side? Then that famous beacon was switched on, and things got very fabulous in Mummy's day. But, like all of us, it hit some bumps, and found itself all over again. At 41, it's cooler knowing it doesn't have to try. Honor the survivors first! How many times have we had the moules-frites? Not enough! And the croque monsieur will never fail you. Nothing will.
