Hello hipsters! Don't pretend, I know you're hipsters, but is it really that bad? After all, the 11th arrondissement is the best district in Paris - dare to prove me wrong - we eat well, we drink well, we have fun like crazy and honestly, nothing in the world could make us move. Except for the rent prices, but that's another story.
1. You have EVERYTHING nearby. Like, really everything.
2. The main bar and Chez Brutus are your best aperitif companions.
3. You can boast about having the best bakeries, the best restaurants, and the best natural wine cellars in the capital.
4. In fact, you hardly do your grocery shopping at the supermarket anymore because the little local wine merchant is your new best friend (hello Liquiderie <3).
5. It takes you and your friends 45 years to decide on a bar on Rue Jean Pierre Timbaud or Saint Maur...
6. ... because each of you has their favorite spot, and everyone has valid arguments.
7. You don't really understand people who go to Ober Mamma when they have Les Deux Amis or Osteria dell'Anima literally a stone's throw away.
8. You've been living here forever, or almost forever, and sometimes you still struggle to differentiate Boulevard Voltaire from Avenue de la République. And Boulevard Richard Lenoir from Boulevard Beaumarchais. At the same time...Sometimes they start from the same place and go to the same place, how are we supposed to keep track seriously?
9. All you're missing is a little green space, but let's not sweat it.
10. You're used to doing everything within a 15-minute walk, and you really have to really want it to get you out of your neighborhood.
11. November 13th doesn't resonate the same way for you as it does for others.
12.The smell when you pass by the Terroirs d'avenir bakery on Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud in the early morning <3
13. When the sun starts to shine, a little square called Maurice Gardette, even if it's full of children.
14. You constantly check the program at Le Consulat, because it's so cozy there, even if it's really cold.
15. You only swear by Chez Jones, Les Oeillets - formerly Chambre Noire, Achi, Bambino, and Fréquence. And maybe you look cool, but we'll pass on the originality.
16. Le Perchoir Ménilmontant has been done and seen... but once in a while, it's still cool.
17. You wear a beanie. And a mustache. And a white t-shirt. And square glasses. Don't lie, we can see you behind your screen there.
