Born Bad is a rock records store selling “bad music for bad people,” and just about everything else those bad people might need.

Urban streetwear and culture in the 11th.

ADOM

Not your typical Parisian "vintage" store, ADOM is more like an American second-hand shop. Stuffed to the brim with great finds, reasonable prices, but get ready to dig. 

Le Tiffin

Le Tiffin specializes in Kati rolls, one of their specialty curries wrapped up in a roti and wrapped to go—Kalkota style! Our favorite break from French food in Paris. 

Cafe de l'Industrie

This off the beaten-track is one way to dodge the tourists and check out an authentic Parisian dining experience. Mostly locals gather here NOT for fine dining, but for good coffee and simple bistro fares.
