bhv and felafel

today our conversation group went to the home of a lady who is russian and speaks french pretty well, but wants to work on her english.
afterwards i went over to a store called bhv – bazaar hotel de ville. it is a department store but in the basement it is like a super hardware store carrying everything that you didn’t realize you needed. all kinds of stuff to fix your electric devices, screws, nails, even stuff to fix your own shoes if you want. got some timers for our radiators and all kinds of little things and the bill came up to $150! not cheap but full coverage.
went to the marais (jewish quarter/gay quarter, very old quarter, very hip) to go get some felafel at “ l’as du felafel” on rue de rosier. i had been trying to go there for ages. i heard they were good, and very cheap. even though i am not a felafel devotee, i wanted to try them. in fact, the felafel was fantastic! the bread was fresh, the felafel light and the sandwich included all kinds of nice raw veggies. i highly recommend it! (and i think it cost $5 for lunch). Print this post
