I want one now!
Favela Chic
Our 1st night in Paris after dinner we walked around trnya find a good party, happened to stumble upon this Brazilian club Favela Chic. As we stepped into the club, the dj was playing Ni**@s in Paris! That was epic. If you're in Paris this place is pretty fun, jam packed with grooving bodies people dancing on chairs tables. They play hiphop, brazilian music and some commercial stuff, fun stuff to dance to. When the samba drums hit it's a workout session. We got a free drink with our entry ticket that night, the bar serves up a delicious Caipirnhas with a lot of zing... Ahhhh so strong! We danced til 5 in the morning.

Duck breast and mushroom risotto
Can't even remember what that fish was, all i know is it was delish! Served with sweet potato mash just perfect.
L'Estaminet
My favorite restaurant in my whole entire trip, hands down. Dunno if you like snails, you really should LOVE snails. Actually went back there twice in the short week I was in Paris. Beef tartar was amazing. Duck liver ravioli in duck liver and wine sauce AMAZING! We ordered two entrees and a main between the two of us and didn't even get through half the chips that came with the main. How exactly do French girls stay slim? Absolutely no idea at all, I think French people eat in small portions is a myth. What makes this the best place ever, not only food that's great. Ambiance.... the place is entirely Parisian shabby chic. Waitresses were steezy(yes that's the only word I can find to describe) helpful and really relaxed. The music they played was so good, I can't even explain. Everything just went so well together, non pretentious non touristy little eatery. There's definately some magic going on there.
Around the area on Rue Oberkampf, plenty of cool bars, live music venues, cafes and crepe/kebab joints. So we skipped dessert n got nutella crepes! Yum!
Le Pompon
Where Parisians hipsters get downing down to rap music! Simply the coolest people you've ever seen, having the coolest time in the coolest space. Apparently the place used to be an old synagog, so yes the interiors are rather Jewish(glam fabulous)? So many pretty people, cool girls and hot boys in bow-ties. Okay, the bartender there.... are all drop dead gorgeous! Seriously, I could stare at them all night(not that I actually did that.). They are, and I am very sure of this. They are angels fallen from above, banished from heaven for doing naughty things... if you know what I mean? Gabriel? I just wanted to rip all of their shirts off. Oh yeah, this place also has really good music things on all the time different dj's n stuff like that, if you like that kinda thing...
