Je t'aime Paris.

I could think of no better place to bring in my birthday than Paris (one of my favorite cities and hopefully someday my future home).

And it proved as magical as I hoped. I left with a few new (or remembered) favorites. 

Bars:

• Experimental Cocktail Club - DJ, tasty cocktails, and a generously late 4am closing time on Saturdays.
• Little Red Door - Nothing not to like here. Custom crafted cocktails, cute interior, and charming staff

Hotels:

• Off Siene Paris - the beaten path but when else are you going to stay in a modern restored barge equipped with an all glass pool
• Hotel Mademoiselle - adorable interior and unbelievably convenient if you need to get to Gare du Nord or Gare de l'Est.
