A Good Reminder

On the wall at L'Inconnu

[a new, very hyped and seriously cool bar in the 10eme]

Expect lots of cool young Parisians, 10euro cocktails and a techno dance party in the basement.

Beach House at La Maroquinerie

Christina and I managed to get ourselves into the sold-out Beach House show at La Maroquinerie in the 20eme.

---Boy, was it worth it---

It was such a relaxed show with a really solid set. And they played for a long time! 

ps - La Maroquinerie is a very cool place. Go early for a show and enjoy a libation in their usually packed courtyard before heading down to small-in-a-good-way concert hall.

Le Refuge des Fondus

Le Refuge des Fondus

This tiny place in Montmarte is full of character. Crowded with a mix of locals and tourists, it has a fun gimmick of fondue and oh, serving wine in baby bottles (something about sticking it to the man on a tax on wine glass). 

After Chloe and Bethany climbed over the table to sit, the appropiately gruff waiter didn't ask us what we wanted to order aside from -

"Viande ou fromage?"  

"Rouge ou Blanc?" 

Testaccio: Night in Rome

Of course when you are exploring a new city, you want to see the night life. Only it is hard to know where to go, to avoid the tourist traps of over priced drinks in contrived bars devoid of locals. If you are in Rome, just go to the Testaccio.

--The Zenith was a very, very cool venue--

Panic Room

"Panic Room, the newish nightlife haven in the bar-packed 11th Arrondissement, hawks a “chic and trash” theme to ensure dopey contentment—and boy does it work." 

Chloe, Alyssa and I met Rachel and her friends out in the 11th at Panic Room this last weekend. It is a very cool and popular bar, like the description says, it is that mix of chic and trash that young people in Paris have a particular penchant for and do so well. Plus while the upstairs is a bar, the downstairs is a DJ-ed dance party. I recommend!

Karaoke at La Noche

The other night we went out with Christina's friends from the agency to a bar, a karaoke bar - La Noche. 

A Packer Bar. In Paris

I should not like the Packers. I am from Minnesota, home of the Vikings.

Le Cahier du Carmen

It was Saturday night in Paris.
 We were three girls that wanted to get dressed up and go out. 
Sophie told us about Carmen, a nightclub in a bar in the north of Paris. 

Friday Night in Bastille
