What shops, stores, museums, galleries, restaurants, cafes, bars, neighbourhoods, boulevards, and public places are the ultimate favourite haunts amongst the Parisian upper class literati. The French urban sophisticated females with degrees from posh universities, large trust funds and impressive pedigrees would be found mostly hanging out where in or near Paris?
Rillifane’s answer is perfect =]
The only place you’ll need to go for that type of atmosphere is Bound. And if you decide to dine there, the ‘tiramisu aux fraises’ is absolutely wonderful.
And I mean sure, you’ll also find people like that on the Avenue Montaigne, or living in the gorgeous townhouses in the 7e or 16e arrondissements.
Hope it helps !

The croissant was invented by pastry chefs in 18th century Europe to celebrate the success of Christian European armies in keeping the Muslim Ottomans out of Europe. It is modeled on the Muslim symbol of the crescent, and mocks it by turning it into food.
Can we expect to see jihad declared against your local neighborhood French-style cafe?
The kipfel – ancestor of the croissant – has been documented in Austria going back at least as far as the 13th century, in various shapes. The "birth" of the croissant itself – that is, its adaptation from the plainer form of kipfel, before its subsequent evolution (to a puff pastry) – can be dated with some precision to at latest 1839 (some say 1838), when an Austrian artillery officer, August Zang, founded a Viennese Bakery ("Boulangerie Viennoise") at 92, rue de Richelieu in Paris. This bakery, which served Viennese specialties including the kipfel and the Vienna loaf, quickly became popular and inspired French imitators (and the concept, if not the term, viennoiserie, a 20th century term for supposedly Vienna-style pastries). The French version of the kipfel was named for its crescent (croissant) shape.
Fanciful stories of how the kipfel – and so, ultimately, the croissant – was created are culinary legends, the fact that these stories have long been disproved does not prevent reputable companies from repeating them on their sites.Despite increasing knowledge in cultural history in general and in food history in particular, these myths are still found far more frequently than the documented versions.
What is the best neighborhood for a mid 20-something female with a dog to move to? Granted, I plan to find roommates and share a flat, but have no idea where to start looking. I’m looking to move to a neighborhood that is very walk-able, as I don’t have a car (which is probably a good thing in SF). I’d like to be able to walk to movie theaters, cafes, grocery stores, etc. And of course a neighborhood that fits my demographic (mid 20 something female post college).
Thanks!

Hi,
I am moving to Beijing in about 3 weeks. My apartment and my workplace will be in the Chaoyang district. I am looking for a nice breakfast place, much like an European cafe where I can get a good cup of coffee and maybe a nice bar in the neighborhood where I can just go before/after work without having to take a bus/cab/subway.
All suggestions are welcome 
Thank you
Head over to Minder’s in the evening. Great Expat hang out. You are sure to meet someone who can show you the lay of the land.
Basically I’m hearing that nightclubs and bars are being sued for playing music by certain artists, I’m wondering if a small neighborhood cafe/restaurant are under the same scrutiny? Thanks.
As long as you paid for the music and you’re not giving it out to other people you’re fine.

Behind the scenes look at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction, where Jay Leno auctioned off his own customized Star V-Max to benefit Bailey’s Cafe, an inter-generational arts charity that operates in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood. Bailey’s is turning the “hood” into a real neighborhood and it’s run by Jay’s old college friend, Stefanie Siegel.
