Silly in Square du Temple
After enjoying a Cornet Vegetarien in Square du Temple last weekend, I actually strolled through the little park when I was terminé and laughed out loud, coming around the bend:
Big goggly eyes affixed to mounds of green sod. The French can be so kooky.

Lovely days in the Haut Marais
You know I like my sandwich guy and the Marché des Enfants Rouge.
You know I like shopping on rue Charlot.
But the reasons to love the Haut Marais keep adding up.
There are leisurely lunches with Bon Appetit and delicious tartes salées at Tartes Kluger.
There’s the new Merce and the Muse; which, with its clever shabby-chic-industrial design and lattés and salads and little heart-shaped carrot cakes, is a welcome taste of home…
…right next door to gelateria, Mary…
which is right around the corner from the remarkable and inspiring Ofr., a fashion bookstore/gallery combo (champagne vernissage this Thursday!!)
In fact, as posh as Parisians pretend the Haut Marais to be, more and more, it reminds me of the friendly, neighborhood-y vibes of Brooklyn, San Francisco and Sydney.
In other words, a lovely and welcome place to be.

French word of the day: malin
Def: smart
As in, "Pretty sneaky, sis!" Or, "Well, aren't you smart!" Or, our friend, Wile E. Coyote.
