So then I thought, if you're coming to Paris you probably want to know how to order at least the most basic of menu items right? Surprise the waiters! Also, Thank good[...]

Rue du Faubourg Saint Denis, 75010 (10th Arr) Paris is one of my favorite neighborhoods to just wander around, grab a cheap snack, have a romantic dinner, people watch at a cafe and or flirt the night away at trendy cocktail bar.
