This past Saturday was a celebration for my friend, Eleanor's, birthday. We all went to eat at Relais de Gascon, 13 rue des Abesses 75018. Had a great time eating gigantic salads with fois gras, magret du canard, escargots, entrecote and deliscious frite en d'ail (thinly sliced potatoes covered in garlic).
Afterwards we went down the street to a dive bar where we got served taffys and drank mohitos and pints of relatively cheap beer. It was swealtering in this bar though, as well as everywhere else in Paris now because nowhere has air conditioning and they don't seem to know how to use fans either. When we would go outside to get some air, the bouncer was constantly telling us to be quite for fear of neighbors complaining (another typical nuisance when going out in Paris).
When the bar closed at 2, we headed down to South Pigalle to an old Lesbian cabaret/club, Chez Moune. This is just a dance club in the basement now. Music was a mix of bad 80s beats, with some random Michael Jackson, JTimberlake and other bad hits thrown in there. It was twice as hot as the last bar and the bouncer was an asshole. I ended up not being allowed back in once I went out to get air because the bouncer kept yelling at everyone to be quite outside on the street and I guess he didn't appreciate my sassyness.
All together, a fun and adventurous night out with lots of laughter and good friends.
