Lenny Kravitz-endorsed falafel

I spent the afternoon with my parents today wandering around the Marais--an old neighborhood on the Rive Droite which also happens to be home to the Jewish part of town. Perhaps the only place in this city where it's easier to find a bagel than a croissant!

While there we ate at this falafel place which had as its advertisement something that absolutely cracked me up: it's major marketing ploy (it mentioned this fact several times on the storefront) was that its falafel was personally recommended by Lenny Kravitz. (Those of you who are familiar with the Chappelle Show already know that Kravitz was officially made part of the Jewish race in the episode where they had the Racial Draft).

Also check out this cool photo of Claire being attacked by tigers (the background is actually a bit of random wall graffiti).

French for the Day: the word for "C.E.O." (coroporate executive officer) is also an acronym: "P.D.G." (president director general).
