May in Paris has lots in store for the first time traveller or the local expat. ?Some of you guys reading this come back every month for the to do list, and many of you are first time visitors to the site and to paris. So with that in mind I'm (slightly) changing the format to please both of you.

March 13, 2014

In honor of St. Patrick's day here in Paris, I've rounded up a selection of the top Irish pubs / bars; from McBride's in Les Halles to O' Connells in Oberkampf.

Lockwood Paris: A Coffeeshop / Ap?ritif Bar

January 25, 2014

Chuck Berry blazing in the background over the sound of the La Marzocco coffee machine grinding, I can hear the English speaking folks to my right discuss?birth of social media in and the neighbors two tables down to my left talk about something in French. ?I stop myself from habitually looking at my phone and the temptation to Instagram everything inside - as I enjoy my Flat White. "Savoir the moment, taste the coffee, enjoy the music, be present" I tell myself. Well, as you can see from[...]

The Lizard Lounge is an unsophisticated, unpretentious, cozy and friendly bar right in the Marais. It?s not that big, though it wouldn?t classify as small either; there is place for about a dozen tables downstairs and then there is a small upstairs section from where you can look out over the people below. Music is mainly pop, singer-songwriter and some light rock. It?s a place where you can both eat and drink; there are several hamburgers on the menu, as well as some snacks like nach[...]

December 15, 2013

Little did I know that when I called my friend up saying, it's been ages "let's catch up for a drink...tonight!" that we'd end up at the perfect little bar. ?Well, Artisan?is actually a not-so-little cocktail bar in south Pigalle (aka SoPi as it's affectionately called by people who "wanna be" in the know). Feeling lazy, and not too adventurous I didn't want to stray too far from home and it was settled that a bar in Pigalle would have to do. Waking down Boulevard de Rochechouart, I took a[...]
