City Guide: Paris
Le Mary Celeste
A hip bar with tremendous cocktails makes this venue packed for good reason.
This place, named for the American ship that went adrift in 1872, gets so packed at night that you don’t even notice the bizarrely lacking décor. But never mind, the cocktails are truly outstanding and the plates on trend and every bite better than the next. You can also keep busy watching the first dates unfold at the bar, or the fabulous crowds at the neighboring tables. It’s a guaranteed fun night with good food to boot.
