[ TRAVEL ] Nine Days in Paris - Part IV
One of the neighborhoods I really liked on this trip was Canal Saint Martin. I've read a lot about how this neighborhood is up and coming (many comparing it to Williamsburg, Brooklyn) along the beautiful tree lined river. It much reminded me of Nakameguro, Tokyo with the resemblance of an urban canal with hip restaurants and design stores. Such a shame we were there too early for the season. I'm sure the whole place would look so much more lively and inviting with blooming trees and warm breeze.
As I walking into Hotel du Nord for lunch, it became clear to me what it meant by 'very Brooklyn-ish'. Its deliberately dark and shabby chic atmosphere with laid back hip-ster crowd made me feel almost home and really enjoyed their splendid food and desert.
After dinner drinks at little red door.
Scott and I loved this little speakeasy cocktail bar on Rue Charlot (a lot of fun spots on this stretch!) and went twice during our stay! They have a pretty masculine cocktail selection (most of them are whisky based) and tapas menu to satisfy your late night cravings!
We dined at Goust after reading great review from Financial Times and it was a truly amazing experience!
Thank Isabel Marant for making this jacket reversible. By the end of trip I went through all my clothes (excessive layering to accommodate the unusually chilly weather didn't leave me with many options to begin with) and glad I was able to pull two looks from one jacket ;P
A different kind of artist.
I found Korean singer PSY on the cover at the airport lounge. Koreans go global, so proud!
Thank you for bearing with the long Paris photo diaries :D Hope you all enjoyed!
