| The Palais Garnier is an 1,979-seat
opera house, built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera |
 |
| We had dinner across from the Opera House at Restaurant Arola at the W Hotel. The modern restaurant serves a tapas-style menu. I started out with the crab salad, the mussels and bacala. |
 |
| The soap dispenser in Arola's ladies room was too cute |
 We stumbled upon Harry's Bar, the birthplace of the Bloody Mary, by accident.  |
| Harry's was full of old signs, memorabilia and patches. This was my favorite sign. |
 |
| From there we went on to Caveau de la Huchette, a famous, cave-like jazz club where Count Basie has played. The music was great, but the clientele was a little strange. I had a sneaking suspicion that it was "Swinger's Night" when we were there. |
 |
| We found a great 24 hour lounge around the corner from our hotel called Le Pub St. Germain. I had my first ever St. Germain cocktail. I was hooked after the first sip. Here's Chrissy gazing happily at our pitcher of drinks. |
 |
| Lolabar at the Hotel Banke was another cool venue where we imbibed. The ladies room was way cool. I wonder where I can get snakeskin fixtures like these? |
 |
| This tourist from Germany was in Paris for his bachelor party. I couldn't resist getting a picture with him! |
 |
| Then the whole crew joined the fun! |
 |
| Me being silly after a long night of partying! |
