Center for University Programs Abroad (CUPA)

This was a while back (1993-1994) but I am living again in Paris and have some fun spots. Scherckan on Rue Oberkampf is a very cool bar and place to get a great not to expensive steak (the Pave Scherckan). It is very small, intimate, mostly French, friendly staff, and wonderful ambiance. Chez Prune on the Canal St. Martin is always fun especially on a warm summer night. The Fumoir is good for a cheap happy hour martini. The fumoir in the China Club is very cool, especially in winter with the fire place. You have to like smoke though. Barrio Latino is fun if you like dancing and a little bit of the fashion crowd but don't want to spend your life's savings on a drink. L'Epi Dupin if you got some cash saved up is amazing for lunch. Best meal for the buck. The antique market at Porte de Vanves is incredible. The Bastille food market on Sunday mornings should be your weekly shopping store. That should get you started.

There are so many! Any of the cute cafes in the 10th or 11th.
