"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."
I have no clue, I'm really not much of a pizza person. It's not pizza-hut puffy and not super thin crispy, more somewhere in between. I can't be more precise since I haven't eaten there since I moved in, it just came highly recomended so I ate there once, before all my stuff was unpacked
Thanks for this- the scoute article is cool-
but surely a thread on "paris and london shops" isnt exactly much compared to whole threads about the food, drink, etc in a city?
Anyway, I've been here a while, around san german des pres, les halles, and l'opera- some place I've liked already are:
Chez Denise- great food etc, communal atmosphere, late
Le Societe- funny "fashion" place- Matriarch of the Rick empire sitting next to me in full regalia
Comptoir de Relais- great lunch place near Odeon
Le Montana- was a good place to go drink and hear a room full of french speakers each assume the other was American and then figure out slowly that each had a french accent. If you like some kind of scene, I guess this is the place.
Au Chateau- Wine tasting in ancient cave, no tourist bs, real good (if you like wine)
The Rick store here was small and empty.
People at the 'lab' branch of L'eclaureur were incredibly nice. but the store never goes on sale? even on stuff from 2004?!?
Otherwise city is beautiful, etc etc, hope this contributes anything at all worthwhile to anyone.
no idea where to get pizza.
Les Tois Maillets at the corner of Rue Galande and Rue St Jacques in the 5th. Fantastic live music. Musicians 'sing for their supper' and they are amazing! Live cabaret downstairs. Reasonable food etc.

the best chinese duck in Paris is also on rue Saint Jacques, but I don't remember the number. It's slightly below the boulevard saint michel on the right-hand side when walking towards the river. it looks completely gross from the outside, but it's excellent ans very cheap
Not far from there, super cute and excellent quiche place: la fourmi ailée, 8 r Fouarre also in the 5th, close to the garden of Saint Julien le Pauvre church (oldest and only remaining romanesque church in Paris if I remember correctly, apparently the oldest tree in Paris is also in that garden. it's right next to the shakespeare & co bookstore)
