Food writer Meg Zimbeck‘s new site Paris by Mouth coupled their launch party with that of chef Daniel Rose’s restaurant, Spring which has just moved to a larger venue in the 1st arrondissement. It was a perfect evening on the rue de l’Arbre sec this past crisp-but-bright Monday at the end of May. Spring (the restaurant) has recently opened their boutique, where the fête began with flowing wine. I was happy to be able to attend for a short but sweet, while. Bloggers, foodies, Parisians, professors and quite a few American ex-pats came out to for the ol’ heave ho, and up you go.
The boutique has a charming, nostalgic and authentic ambiance, where the shelves are laden with products that have character and careful choosing put into the selection. Pressed in cozy together and spilling onto the sidewalk, the place was like a meeting hub for to all came out to play with Meg and friends. The chatter bubbled over everything from yoga to wine and beyond. And the evening sun became golden and sparkling upon the shelves lined with good things to eat.

Pierre and Mary, a bi-cultural couple were there enjoying the food and fun.

I also met Pamela Levy who is launching a website and e-commerce dedicated to all things yoga, and Sylvia Sabes who has her own site as well http://sylviasabes.com/
We have all been looking forward with anticipation to all that Paris By Mouth will bring to the Parisian world of foodies and gourmands.
