I am back to a new fresh start after my blogging break last week.
It’s Door of the Month double-header today. Both doors are on the rue Charlot, a street with trendy boutiques and restaurants in the Northern/Haute Marais/NORMA.
I love the first door at # 61 because it’s unique, like no other I have seen before with its iron spider web. There’s a trendy Italian-French organic restaurant Marcovaldo, which takes its name from an Italo Colvino novel.
Next up is a door at #77 with a sign in bold graphics HENRI GROUT, CARTONNAGE ARTISTIQUE (artistic carton manufacturing).
61 & 77 rue Charlot, 75003
Metro: Filles-Calvaire
I am happy to announce the launch of Eye Prefer Paris Cooking Classes. Come take an ethnic culinary journey with me and chef and caterer Charlotte Puckette, co-author of the bestseller The Ethnic Paris Cookbook (with Olivia Kiang-Snaije). First we will shop at a Paris green-market for the freshest ingredients and then return to Charlotte's professional kitchen near the Eiffel Tower to cook a three-course lunch. After, we will indulge in the delicious feast we prepared along with hand-selected wines.

Time: 9:30AM- 2PM (approximately 4 1/2 hours)
Location: We will meet by a metro station close to the market
