Paris Secret Treasures!

Since I know j'adore recommendations and special small places to visit when traveling, I have decided to share with all of you all my Paris favorites! These were the places that stuck out in my mind and made my experience as fantastic as it was... I hope when you visit you will go to some of these places and feel the same! And as usual, let me know what you think...

Restaurants:
*L'Aubergeade= fabulous little bistro with the nicest owners and FABULOUS, inexpensive food! definitely one of my favorite meals of Paris

3 rue Saint Beuve 75006
01 45 49 10 40

*L'Argume= featured in the NYTimes, it was a gourmand experience, and relatively inexpensive... very intimate experience
(M) Les Gobelins

*Le Relais Entrecote= only serve steak frites with salad and wine! sooo good, my fav was the one in Saint Germain
(M) St Germain des Pres

Le Loire dans la Thière= direct translation, "the dormouse in the teapot", a magnificent place to stop and have tea (my fav was caramel) and a dessert (the lemon meringue tart was from heaven)
(M) St. Paul in the Marais

L'as du Falafel= the line is around the corner on Sunday's, not only b/c its so good, but b/c most places are closed on Sundays... great place to get a falafel to walk through the Marais with
(M) St. Paul

Rose Bakery= delightful experience
(M) St. Paul

Le Petit Prince= went here for my bday, very very good food and fun experience... the ambiance is classic, but the waiters are all gay with Abba playing in the background!
(M) Maubert

... there are more... but i think that is a good start... let me know if you want more...
Clubs/Bars:
*Wagg= went here for my birthday, SO FUN! music is classic stuff/ 80's-2000's all stuff you wanna sing along to, the crowd is a bit older (25-35) but a BLAST!
(M) Mabillon

*Bario Latino= beautiful bar/restaurant/club, Wednesday nights are free to get in, and everyone salsa's the night away! Even if you can't dance, watching the pros is amazing
(M) Bastille

Le Cab= fun swanky night club right next to the Louvre... good music and pretty people
(M) Louvre- Palais Royal

Dubbies= fun bar that turns into a club... good old time!
(M) George V

Frog and the Princess= a must see... the street it is on, rue de Princess is always packed and all the bars along that street including Eden Park and Chez George (they play jewish music!) are so fun
(M) Mabillon

Queen= a 'gay club' with fun atmosphere... however, most of the guys are not gay... or you can't really tell soooo you dance with them thinking they like boys, then they try and kiss you... and you get the picture. Fun but confusing. Wednesday Night= Ladies night= Free Champagne!
(M) George V

Jazz: (one of my favorite pass times in Paris)
*L'Ateiler Charonne= great jazz restaurant with gypsy jazz and young good looking people
(M) Bastille

*Tavern de Cluny= really talented group! fun on Sunday nights... not really hip but very authentic
(M) Cluny

*Le Komtoir= GREAT bar right next to the Pompidou, with jazz band downstairs in a large wine cellar... very popular hard to get a seat on Thursday nights
(M) Hotel de Ville

Museums: I literally went to them all... these were my favorites
*Baccarat Crystal Museum= amazing display of crystal everything! Its a beautiful building and very very well worth a visit
(M) Kleber

*Musee Jacquemart-Andre= beautiful mansion of art collector Edouard Andre, this art collection is impressive and makes a great afternoon event!
(M) St. Philippe- du Roule

*Pompidou= gotta give this museum a chance! and make it to the 5th floor, that is where all the magic is!
(M) Hotel de Ville

*L'Orangerie= less known than the Musee d'Orsay, but the impressionist display is impressive! This museum has all of Monet's water lilies
(M) Concorde

Just fun must do's:
-Laying on the grass in Jardin du Luxembourg
-Having a picnic on the Champs de Mars (park right next to the Eiffel Tower)
-Going to all the gourmet food shops around Place de la Madeleine (M) Madeleine
-Going shopping in the Marais (might I recommend my new favorite store L'Art du basic... I would have bought out the place if I could)
-Shakespeare & Co for a Monday night book reading-- every week at 7pm... so fun!

Voila! C'est tout!
And to quote Julie Andrews, "These are a few of my favorite things".... :)
