Funny how times fly when you have fun and it’s always the case for me when I come back to Paris after a while. Last week I told you about a discovery with the post Surprise my nickname and the Harry’s bar is a second one. Althought I consider myself as a real parisian meaning a lover of paris life, I have never been a drinker and a nightlife girl even when I was a student. Going to disco was fun once a while, but I have always been more into reading and going to movies, teater or many others events that Paris offers. Since I’m totally into a challenge of going out of my comfort zone, I try out a french website that works a little like meet up. The purpose is to meet people who have same interest to go out with, every kind of event are open as long as it’s regular. Since my travel was a last minute one, I didn’t except to find something for me, but I did and it was a meeting to talk about a tv show we all liked and the Harry’s bar situated at 5 rue Daunou in the centre of Paris was the hottest choice. Actually she couldn’t have choose better, the serie was an american one, and this bar is well know for his famous american ghosts Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The legend also says that Gershwin composed « An American in Paris » in the piano bar downstairs and that the Bloody Mary have its origins there. It’s was fun to enter there and to imagine who could be behind a nickname, a gravatar and surprise, it’s never what you except, but this could be the theme of another post.
For my Drink at Harry’s bar in Paris for once, I choose something else than wine, they made me a cocktail with Baileys and I took two of them because it was too delicious.
What about you, could you also attempt a meeting like that with strangers ? And what kind of drink could you choose in such a case ?
Now is the best moment of the meme, posting the link in cate’s blog here Six word Saturday and visiting few bloggers that participate.
Sometimes I can’t post a comment in a blog because you have to subscribe and it’s too complicate for me to add more subscriptions and it’s sad because it’s an interesting post and worst when the blogger came by to visit and you can »t say that you’ve been there. Ouch ! Anyway I can’t wait to see the new post of the week.
Happy SWS saturday EVERYONE !
