Daniel Rose, the American chef who rose international acclaim with his first-ever restaurant Spring, has had a terrible year. When I interviewed him last December (see article here), he was full of optimism about a new space near the Louvre: We’ll add a lunch service so that people can come more spontaneously. And we’ll add [...]
Pierre Jancou, the photogenic owner of Racines, sent me a sad email this morning: Finally Racines will be sold next friday and I will go to the Drôme region next to my family and have new adventures. However shocking it might seem, this isn’t the first time that Jancou has built and sold a thriving [...]
Full disclosure: this post originated from a single-minded desire to post a quiet/beautiful video from this week’s Mountain Goats concert at the Point Ephémère. Considering, however, the pea-sized audience for such a post, I’ve decided to broaden out and share some news: First up: the Paris Paris (a club created by the fadmasters behind le [...]
I’ll admit it: the humble crêperie is one of my favorite places in Paris. The food is affordable—usually less than 15 euros for two courses—and the eating is easy. Nothing goes down better after a night of heavy wine “tasting” than a ham-egg-cheese complète. What’s more, the rough decor and the brusque charm of the [...]
The Blé Sucré bakery is by no means a secret place. Local bloggers (the holy trinity of David, Dorie & Clotilde) have been loving it for years, but mainstream media and printed guides have also jumped on the sweet wheat wagon. With all this press, the only thing saving Blé Sucré from an anglophone invasion [...]
Dear (Nuit) Blanche, Despite my earlier reservations, I had a lovely and surprising time with you last night in the Buttes Chaumont. I was enchanted (admittedly tipsy) by your transformation of the park’s dark waters, shaggy hills, and green lawns. Draped in moonlight and a thousand lamps, I hardly recognized these places where my dog [...]
Paris Fashion Week is upon us, along with the infamous parties. Following a full day of runway shows, you’ll find the models (and LiLo, of course) lifting their skirts at one of the clubs below. A word to the unbeautiful: you’ll have to be B-list or above to make it past the velvet rope this [...]
To all you British readers who are mourning the loss of Petite Anglaise (the blog, not the girl): a comforting dose of Paris can be found in the current issue of the BBC’s Olive food magazine. 48 Hours in Bargain Paris asks four local writers (including moi) for their tips on markets, restaurants, wine bars [...]
The annual Nuit Blanche festival, an all-night contemporary art party, will take place on Saturday night between 7pm and 7am. Although I’ve been in Paris for 6 of the 8 editions, I’ve managed to attend only once. Writing “Nuit Blanche” in my calendar is a sure trigger to the social universe to send a competing [...]
