A new sushi bar in my fief...

There was no crowd, but they had just opened tonight.

The place is pleasant, the food is fresh, the staff very kind and the menu
is classic, but their prices are competitive in this area.
[The restaurant also provides home delivery].


ID-Fun Sushi > 94, avenue Parmentier, Paris XI
you can both enter by the avenue or from the back, rue Locroy.

Graffiti Street in Paris/Belleville...

If you need a wall, (so you can escape)...
try this one in the Belleville Paris district.

















This colorful corner of Belleville has obviously been identified and chosen for the
filming of 'Belleville Story' as well as other very peculiar spots in the neighborhood,
like this popular 'bazar' where everything is sold at 1 €...

Adam wrote an interesting post about this street on his blog 'Invisible Paris'.
