La Petite Rose

By Lauren Grasso | Published: July 2, 2010
Searching for a tea room without crowds of Ladurée or Angelina’s? Escape to La Petite Rose in the 17tharrondissement.

Gerard Mulot

By David Dadoun | Published: March 7, 2010
My Parisian friend Sylvie recently asked me if I had been to Gerard Mulot to try the best croissants in Paris.  I sheepishly told her I didn’t know of Gerard Mulot, nor that it had the best croissants, but assured her (and myself) that I’d check it out. Turns out  I had been to Gerard […]
