The "Renaissance"
Renaissance
also: Ренессанс
A fashionable restaurant and entertainment venue where Wanda would ordinarily go to meet well-off men in the evening; it enforces a dress code that bars her in her current plain clothes, closing off her easiest option and forcing her to call on Finkel at home instead. She returns there triumphantly, newly dressed, the night after the story's events.
Reading notes
- A Man I Know §4 "Ренессансе"
The "Renaissance" is a fashionable restaurant/entertainment venue of the kind that enforced a dress code -- a woman without a proper hat and jacket, marking her as fallen on hard times, would simply be turned away at the door, which is why Wanda cannot use it to find a benefactor tonight.
