At the foot of the massive Porte Saint Denis Arc in the trendy Faubourg Saint Denis (FSD) Neighborhood is one of the best burgers spots around. Simple and cheap - quite hard to find in Paris. Not to mention the quality as good - if you're not a fan of fast-food but like a burger from time to time, I highly recommend this place. No gimmicks just really good french beef, with only 3 menu selection. You know what you're getting. The restaurant is separated on two floors with outdoors seating (i[...]

Tons of things to do starting with the?Christmas season into the New Years in Paris. Time to layer up like an onion, because it?s that cold here! As the winter is in full force, Paris is definitely in the festive season with all the streetlights coming on the cutely decorated streets (like Rue Montorgeuil), the markets along the Champs Elysees with hot wine and crepes, and people preparing to cozy up at home around their Christmas trees with family. Weather you?re a college student (maybe doing[...]
A complete list of all the best places to get (really) good coffee in Paris. Kids say the darndest things, right? The other day I was talking to my son about favorites and moved on to asking him "what is your favorite coffee shop?" to which he replied without hesitation "Cafe Lomi!" ?It's just a combination of the moist chocolate cake, cosy sofas and friendly baristas. He loves that place - and recently we decided to create a map together, of our favorite parisian coffee shops. All of whic[...]
