So these past few months as I was scrambling for a job I must have been extremely vocal about my lack of funds, as well as my love for Los Angeles and my days as a broke Hollywood waitress. Perhaps my love song to the City of Angels made it's way west because a few weeks ago I found both worlds colliding when LA based website Broke Girl's Guide asked me to come up with the Paris edition of their new column "2 Days, 1 City 100 bucks".
Could I come up with a two day plan for 100 bucks in Paris? Absolutely! I could make that stretch in a week! But since this is supposed to be a piece encouraging visitors to come and experience Paris on the cheap, I had to spare them from prepackaged food from Monop' or the fresh mint and shrimp summer rolls that you can pick up for a two euros at almost any Chinese restaurant. After all, I'd have to assume that readers following my guide are not coming to Paris to eat Chinese food. Once the reality of the assignment set in, I really had to go through my rolodex of spots in the city to provide a cohesive program for the fellow broke and ultimately hip chick traveling to the City of Light. Airfare and housing excluded, this is how I'd entertain myself as a tourist with 100 dollars in gay Par-ee. Enjoy! Two Days in Paris with 100 Bucks
Thank you ladies at the Broke Girl's Guide
