While in Marseille we stopped by the one noteworthy bar we could find; Carry Nation. For those of you not familiar with the history of the US temperance movement, Mrs. Nation was a 6′ tall radical famous for her “hatchetations.” This is exactly as bad-ass as it sounds.
We’ve compiled our favorite places, things, and food into city guides that we hope will be practical and easy to use if you’re planning a trip to Europe. Lucky you!
You can visit the main city guides page here. Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Paris are live. We will keep adding to this page as we have time, so check back in. Up next is Berlin!

This was one of our favorite spots in Paris. Unlike the other bars I’ve reviewed, A La Française operates on the traditional bistro model; outdoor cafe seating, a limited drink list, and full menu of delicious food.

Cantillon Rose De Gambrinus. Sorry for the NSFW graphic. I don’t make the labels, I just drink the beers.
