"Le Marais has a pop-up brunch at Alembic 10a–2p on the weekend. Simple menu, and a tad on the pricy side, but excellent casual food."

"Excellent wine selection and the pizza was fantastic. Fermented chili added a lightly spicy perfection. The portions are on the small side, so you may want an appetizer."

"Brand spankin new, but already feels like it's been here a long time. The pizza's solid, the gemelli pasta was great, the prices are a bit high, but on par with SF these days. $5/slice"

"The smells. The warm emotions evoked just by walking past are enough to carry you across the Atlantic. Very, very good."

"Oldest park in the city, but somehow in 2016 qualifies as a "hidden gem." Beautiful historic paths, great views, lush understory, fairytale sunsets, and a mystical spookiness when the fog rolls in."

"Upstairs is pretty awesome. Original tin walls and ceiling! The homemade focaccia is super rich, but delicious."
