00:00
let's vlog ative 495 good morning
00:14
it's Thursday which means Happy
00:16
Thanksgiving but it also means that for
00:17
you it's Friday which means it's French
00:19
Friday today I'm going to answer one
00:21
question that I get a lot which is where
00:23
to go for a little bit of nightlife in
00:24
Paris and I'm gonna send you to some
00:26
places that aren't particularly touristy
00:28
but it's really easy to find you know
00:30
the red-light district of Moulin Rouge
00:31
or Montmartre
00:33
those are nice areas and they're areas
00:35
that everybody knows but I'm gonna tell
00:36
you guys about three spots that are a
00:37
lot less touristy and it's just a nice
00:40
place to go mingle hang out find a bar
00:41
or a restaurant and just wander around
00:43
and you know pretend that you actually
00:47
live in Paris for a minute let's go
00:48
check those out the luxury is not this
00:54
isn't what we're advertising assistant
00:55
Charles hungry you know I guess it's a
00:57
form of nightlife but is dark outside
00:59
that this place will close before the
01:00
real fun happens Oh Cheryl bought a
01:05
GoPro she's very excited about her GoPro
01:07
purchase it's in a brown paper bag and
01:10
everything definitely legit she has she
01:12
has plans for it that involved yachts
01:15
and parties this is a freebie but if you
01:23
get out at st. Paul in the Marais and
01:25
you walk just a little bit east so
01:27
towards the actual church and then turn
01:29
left a couple blocks in we run into a
01:31
lot of really fun little bars and pubs
01:32
as well so keep that in mind try to
01:35
remember what there's a really fun
01:36
Scottish pub over here camera the name
01:37
of it left on my head but there's some
01:39
other good stuff around here we're gonna
01:40
go just a little bit farther though to
01:41
besties you want to go northeast to
01:43
besties and there's lots of bars and
01:45
pubs around there we'll just walk around
01:46
for a little bit and show you some of
01:47
those so the goal is to go to three
01:49
areas tonight I'm not going to tell you
01:50
specific bars or clubs or restaurants or
01:53
anything like that that you should go to
01:54
that you can find on your own just by
01:56
wandering around but I'm gonna give you
01:57
dense areas that are really nice to go
02:00
to at
02:01
that are not super touristy and
02:03
generally have a lot of really good
02:04
offerings the first one we're gonna go
02:06
to is besties and then we're gonna work
02:08
our way west from there so you get to
02:24
Bessie you don't want to go where all
02:26
the flashy colorful things are over here
02:27
that's where the market is on Thursdays
02:29
and Sundays you don't want to go up that
02:31
way it's not really much going on one
02:33
Street over there's a bunch of fun stuff
02:34
just down here but it's even better if
02:36
you go a couple blocks down that way see
02:39
the Opera over here
02:40
voila big opera there's one road next to
02:43
it and then the road just to the side of
02:45
that that's the one you want to go at
02:46
curves that way basically just go down a
02:47
block or two and go north and you gonna
02:49
find lots of good stuff and this is kind
02:50
of the border of that if we go up here
02:54
down which we're gonna go up here
03:04
there's a Burger King up here that's
03:05
where we're heading so we're gonna go
03:07
just up here they'll walk around a
03:09
little bit show you guys the area and
03:10
it's a fun area just to walk around I
03:12
don't think it's the best for the
03:13
nightlife but it is really good already
03:18
have this one but it's right up here if
03:19
you need one there are a lot of hot dog
03:21
places up here I don't know why I've
03:24
really stoned hot dogs I don't know why
03:26
I don't I'm stopping
03:29
[Music]
03:33
see there's another hot dog place so the
03:37
nightlife scene here starts a little bit
03:39
earlier than in places like Spain for
03:41
example or Iceland even start one or two
03:44
in the morning a lot of its bars and
03:46
terraces places where you just go sit
03:48
have a drink and chat with your friends
03:50
there is obviously a night clubbing
03:52
scene which does start a bit later but
03:54
that's not what we're going to tonight
03:55
where do you think the best nightclubs
03:56
in Paris are probably closer to Pig al
04:00
okay oh so over towards like that man
04:06
we're going ritzy now have not been to
04:22
this place yeah we're just we're not
04:27
going for a hardcore night out here but
04:28
you can see there's a lots of cool bars
04:29
here where all the people are we are
04:42
also here at like 6:30 p.m. on a
04:45
Thursday it's gonna get busier but not
04:48
while we're here so we're gonna try and
04:49
go to all three like neighborhoods in
04:51
one go
04:53
[Music]
05:00
bada-boom she says is a good nightclub
05:04
an interesting night club where the
05:05
upstairs is like living room downstairs
05:06
more like club so you gonna come to a
05:09
place I am NOT I'm I'm I'm not endorsing
05:13
it but I'm just saying Cheryl's
05:14
endorsing it
05:16
Cheryl endorses it take your trash
05:18
Cheryl go for it only the berliner bar
05:22
that was where you went on your first
05:24
date with your now ex we're getting some
05:27
Cheryl's relationship history as we go
05:29
to actually could assume that there you
05:33
go so I told you we're gonna tell you
05:35
specific bars but look at us telling you
05:36
specific bars check out the berliner on
05:38
Rue de Lappe it was that that was Rue de
05:43
La Roquette is like one of the easiest
05:45
ways to go I think it's personally it's
05:47
a little bit disappointing this is the
05:48
road we were coming up a minute ago
05:49
again you want to kind of go east from
05:52
here but there's a lot of stuff on here
05:53
but there's some stuff on her shirt
05:56
[Music]
06:05
now we're gonna go just the area between
06:07
replicate pom on ta anyways we're gonna
06:10
go towards rep oblique now so rapidly
06:26
gives us fairly large square it's a
06:28
decent sized square with not a whole lot
06:30
immediately on it but pretty much any
06:32
direction you go from here you're gonna
06:34
find something worth checking out it's a
06:36
wonderful area it's lots of fun lots of
06:38
nightlife lots of live music you're
06:40
gonna be able to wander what we're gonna
06:41
do is we're gonna actually go straight
06:42
behind the statue behind me we're gonna
06:45
go straight behind that towards par
06:46
multi a home on ta he's got a lot of
06:47
really good stuff really fun area it's
06:50
over towards the canal and once he at
06:51
the canal
06:52
if you hit go left when you hit the
06:53
canal you'll actually get back to the
06:55
portion where the water is above ground
06:56
some really fun bars and restaurants but
06:58
we're gonna walk straight up from there
06:59
towards system bars check it out find a
07:02
place to have a drink and then we'll
07:03
make our way over towards Belleville
07:05
from here
07:08
[Music]
07:24
Shell's taking a water break Cheryl
07:28
managed to buy her bottle of water for
07:29
30 cents which is impressive another
07:48
thing you'll find with the French is
07:49
that they love sitting facing out so
07:51
they can people watch that has nothing
07:53
to do with nightlife
07:57
[Music]
08:22
so Strasburg synteny gun boulevard and
08:25
bonne nouvelle our three stops that are
08:27
right in line with each other that have
08:28
a lot of stuff going on so we're just
08:29
going to kind of wander and see what
08:31
happens this is a cool bar I came here
08:46
with Hector once actually and you've
08:48
been here before
08:49
it's a cool place it's like it's a
08:51
cocktail bar like an artisan cocktail
08:52
bar you want to go here okay this is
08:54
where we're gonna go and then we'll see
08:55
there's we're supposed to be meeting up
08:56
with somebody tonight but I don't know
08:57
if he's gonna actually show up or not so
08:59
kind of all over the place
09:00
[Laughter]
09:15
we're north that we're currently north
09:18
of line 9 and so you get out and you
09:21
continue walking west from here then
09:23
you're gonna end up hitting all the
09:24
places we're talking about but it
09:25
basically just go north in any of the
09:26
three you stay in this area you'll find
09:29
a lot of really good stuff yeah if
09:34
you're into this probably face scan a
09:40
B&B; will fill if you get too much cheese
09:47
yeah very pretty if I could leave
09:50
anywhere in town this would be my third
09:51
I think this would be my third prep for
09:53
their preferred I think my first would
09:56
be my first to be rep who bleep the
09:58
replica completely opposite of her she
09:59
went so much quiet and calm aside one
10:05
rep oblique and then montmartre and then
10:08
somewhere like this we have very
10:13
different opinions and therefore we
10:28
spent too much time talking out talking
10:30
outside there was a table that was open
10:32
and then the couple that were named
10:33
before us took took our spot that works
10:36
though I mean if we get joined by other
10:37
people than we need more space anyways
10:38
run this way okay
10:40
oh yeah okay we're gonna walk so we'll
10:41
walk through his BUN development idea we
10:43
can actually just hang it right right
10:44
here
10:45
[Music]
11:11
joined by Stuart who has the station
11:13
dinner happen so we're finding space
11:15
invaders together while we walk trying
11:16
to find shale street food so that gives
11:18
you good idea of how this house like
11:19
nightlife can kind of look when you're
11:21
walking around there lots of great bars
11:22
restaurants small places around
11:23
wonderful things just because it looks a
11:25
little bit dead on the outside doesn't
11:26
mean it's going to be on the end to go
11:27
in and check it out and yeah I hope you
11:29
just subscribe and follow along and now
11:31
we're gonna go back to the regular vlog
11:32
content cuz uh good morning
11:35
Shirley I just want to go on the record
11:37
again saying I hate sleeping in I stayed
11:40
up until like 3:00 in the morning just
11:42
being useless wandering around the
11:43
internet and wondering what I was doing
11:45
with my life actually is more you know I
11:47
don't know it's kind of in a funk a
11:48
little bit cuz I'm missing out
11:49
Thanksgiving a little bit just cuz
11:50
probably needed to sleep and so I let
11:52
myself sleep in because I needed it it
11:54
doesn't make it any it doesn't make it
11:55
any better
11:56
it doesn't make it I feel just useless
11:58
that's like hours in the morning gone
12:00
not okay to do the whole French for
12:04
anything and then we'll be back alright
12:06
now that we've done that I'm gonna go
12:08
down to get some work done at the
12:10
palette on it sounds like we're having a
12:12
little youtuber hangout Cheryl and
12:14
Natasha are supposed to meet us Andrea
12:16
unfortunately has an office job so Andre
12:17
has a really hard time getting away and
12:19
meeting up with us and she really wants
12:22
a Clark dog which we need to make happen
12:23
but apparently need to make it happen on
12:25
a weekend or something so Andre let's
12:26
let's do that as soon as you've got your
12:28
stuff out of the way oh these shoes I
12:30
don't think she has made her
12:31
announcement yet so I don't think I can
12:32
tell you guys what that thing is
12:34
um so anywho I need to make some ravioli
12:37
eat me some lunch and then go down and
12:39
before you guys start thinking obsessed
12:41
with ravioli it's just it's like a
12:42
complete meal that's easy to make on the
12:45
hot plate transporting stuff from the
12:47
hot plate to the mine see my tiny little
12:50
sink around the corner and back trapping
12:52
things up it cooking is not easy not not
12:54
fun in my apartment it's also a time
12:57
thing but you get there anyways let's
12:59
just let's get out here
13:01
I have thoughts about the banana and
13:14
ravioli situation but before we get into
13:16
that one thing that I just wanted to
13:18
talk about very briefly is net
13:20
neutrality you're seeing it everywhere
13:21
on the internet soaking up right it's
13:22
all over the front page it's under
13:24
attack again it feels ridiculous that we
13:26
even have to talk about this but no
13:27
matter is that if it's not upheld if
13:29
it's not protected then there's catching
13:31
me for free onion will have to pay a
13:34
tease that will help the rust in order
13:37
just to continue to consume the stuff
13:39
that you already love and get access to
13:41
the information you need to remain
13:43
informed about the world so this is kind
13:44
of more of an American centric
13:46
commentary sorry for the rest of you but
13:48
just want to throw that out there if you
13:49
can do it I'll put a link in the
13:51
description for where you can contact
13:52
your representatives but of course this
13:55
is silly the majority of Americans like
13:56
the vast majority of us have no idea why
13:58
this is coming back around again it's
14:00
just a few wealthy douchebags trying to
14:01
make more money off of the rest of us by
14:03
crippling our democracy to put it in
14:06
like inflammatory terms anyways I try to
14:09
avoid politics on the vlog this is
14:11
something that if it goes through will
14:13
directly impact the blog and your
14:14
ability to consume it so do make sure to
14:17
do whatever you can to fight this and
14:19
now back to the rest of the blog
14:21
[Music]
14:27
a lot of comments about how much I must
14:36
love bananas and well ravioli hasn't
14:39
started kicking off yet but I'm kind of
14:41
trying to get ahead of that because I
14:42
know it's gonna happen eventually
14:43
because it comes up a lot now the reason
14:45
that I end up eating bananas and Clark
14:47
dog ravioli a lot is not because I'm
14:49
particularly infatuated with them or
14:51
like desperately need them but because
14:52
it's easy I don't have to think about it
14:54
right main struggle that I have with the
14:56
decision making process when it comes to
14:57
things like food as usually I don't
14:59
think about eating until like I'm an
15:01
hour overdue for having eaten something
15:03
I'm hungry I'm just kind of scrambling
15:05
and then I just go for whatever the
15:06
easiest two option is it's not like how
15:08
if you have a simplified wardrobe you
15:09
don't have to think about what you're
15:10
gonna wear in the morning same kind of
15:11
thing if you have a simplified
15:12
refrigerator you don't have to really
15:14
think about what you're gonna eat
15:15
[Music]
15:23
Clark dog for example because it's a
15:26
really easy option that's really close
15:28
to the peloton it's tasty it's not
15:30
expensive and yeah I just found saying
15:32
it bounced out and I'm done whereas like
15:34
if there is a pizza by the slice place
15:35
nearby I would be there all the time as
15:37
well just because it's simple it's
15:39
something I like I like pizza way more
15:40
than I like hotdogs in fact hotdogs I've
15:42
never eaten this many hotdogs in my life
15:44
and as I'm trying to stop so I'll let to
15:46
say but it comes like bananas are the
15:48
same thing it's not that I'm a banana
15:49
fiend there are other fruits that I like
15:50
more this is the bananas keep really
15:52
well they're really easy and they're
15:53
portable like you pick one up and you
15:55
run in the morning don't have to worry
15:56
about gathering them together apples are
15:58
another really good option but getting
16:00
good apples usually a lot of I mean
16:01
unless they're in season the apples here
16:03
often kind of mushy and I'm sort of an
16:05
apple snob did grow up an apple Capital
16:07
so you know
16:09
[Music]
16:31
we're just talking about she's the only
16:34
thing this person I know that I've ever
16:35
heard say you when she stepped out into
16:37
the rain and she's a bad influence
16:38
because I was not going to eat a clerk
16:40
dog today but she wants to be introduced
16:41
so now Clark dog is gonna have to happen
16:43
actually I'm okay with really hungry
16:47
[Music]
16:49
well we can hide fish over there this is
16:55
more rain than expected yeah we can get
16:57
we can head over here
16:58
you got this oh crap I'm wearing the
17:00
slippery shoes it's bad I forgot these
17:02
bands slip and slide in there in
17:11
you know that's that's that's the nut
17:13
stay inferior your hot dog over there
17:15
it's gonna be a long walk hit this rate
17:26
Natasha's desire for a hot dog is
17:28
overcoming her fear of water so here we
17:30
oh jeez
17:31
did you see my foot slip there this bad
17:33
it's all know I'm not gonna barrel into
17:37
you I'm gonna hit the ground and like
17:39
died that's why so my shin is still
17:41
injured from my fall on the Arc de
17:45
Triomphe 10 for Christmas look at that
17:56
Brits do you say happy Christmas or
17:58
Merry Christmas let's turn into a debate
