I know, I know, I know obvious! But hear me out, there is literally NOTHING better than sitting alone tipsy at one of the huge, round oyster bars with “a book” that acts as a shield of distraction while you eavesdrop on other people. One time I went and I watched three strangers meet, get hammered, and decide to have a threesome lol. Cheers! Everything here is good, but my personal fave is the caviar sandwich and a Campari spritz with olives. And you must (!) take a selfie on the red lips sofa in the bathroom! There’s a huge mirror in there just for that reason.

It’s a bar, and it’s the one of my favourite bars in Paris. Not only are the drinks phenomenal I was seated in front of a mirror and got to stare at myself the whole time. If you are considering getting the pumpkin cocktail do it.

The fancy big one on 59th st with the art deco elevators. It's a great place to pass the time while waiting to meet up with someone. Plus, even though you should get over your fear of hanging out alone and reading in a bar, it feels more natural to do it here.

Cutest and best sourced collection of vintage designer in the city! They do pop-ups around LES often, but also have a qt website and IG. I got a pair of bleached raw denim 5351 Pour Les Femme jeans that I wear every day from one of their parties and an early 00’s Miu Miu mini skirt that I wore on NYE that I’m obsessed with. It’s ran by some of the hottest LES-ers <3 Shout-out Maya, Nancy, and Jeremie xoxo. I recently figured out that if you say “Heaven I Stay” aloud you get a cute surprise, so say it aloud right now to whoever’s near you :)

Best Portuguese egg tarts and onigiri in the city and they’re like $1.25. Just be chill, be nice to them and bring cash. I went recently and this bro asshole was yelling at them to cut his little ass tart into tiny pieces and they told him NO about 23984x, so eventually I was like cut it yourself bro or just eat it and stfu! Not that kind of establishment. Just get your cute little pastries and onigiri, say thank you and go about your day :) The sponge cake is bomb and they have various bubble teas too.

All of the episodes are on Youtube and if you’re a nostalgic reality show nerd like me, you’re welcome. For those who aren’t familiar it’s an old MTV show that follows Tommy Hilfiger’s daughter Ally and her bff Jaime around NYC. Watching the daughter of the America-obsessed designer Tommy Hilfiger say she doesn’t understand “American, um, uh, uh, products at all” while scarfing down crudités is truly the “Rich”ness of the show! They say the most insane and dumb shit sincerely and I still love it. A true study on delusion. A horror reality show. Def not for everyone. They dress like we do now so there’s style inspo too if you want to watch it on mute. Some might call it nauseatingly cringe, but I like to live on the edge.
