Les Amis,
Paris is still beautiful in the rain, non? One must, however, reconcile the desire to be chic with the plans plans plans to do all the things. So I have created a few < paris : edits > for you — mini-itineraries centered around things to do in PARIS RIGHT NOW that minimize getting around — you can zig and zag a contained area and keep those heeled Sezane boots looking dope.
I refreshed these itineraries recently as French Boyfriend [I’m not a brute, he’s shy and likes his anonymity] and I scouted the neigborhood for new spots as I had the idea for a food tour around the Eiffel Tower after discussing with some guide friends how much of a glow-up the neighborhood is getting. Before it was half tourist-overcharge land / half posh [but unwelcoming] spots for the locals.
Perhaps I’m just not feeling the whole Tower tickets scramble this summer. [Having 3 laptops locked and loaded every day at noon to get tickets...non, merci, not this year. The magazine launch is keeping me très busy...] So as far as Eiffel Tower, we are keeping it « by request » for now while Marie and I reboot the Speakeasy French Cocktail Workshop to get it launched in April, now in a new home in the dreamy Montmartre quarter. Caro, the resident mixoligiste is ready, the space is ready, it’s just a matter of time to get back in the rhythm...
Since the food scene has improved quite a lot beyond the tourist-kitsch creperies etc etc, I thought, why not? You can see the tall metal thing light up with a belly full of wine, cheese, and chocolates. Pourquoi pas?
Oh, and under no circumstances eat the street food around the Eiffel Tower. [Don’t click « why » if you are currently in a a state of eating...]
