Guidebook for Paris
Food Scene
It's absolutely excellent. I do recommend going for a late lunch in week days though, because they don't take reservations and the place is always crowded. Delicious pasta and pizza, worth the while.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a speak-easy bar, hidden behind a pizza place. You need to enter the pizzeria and enter a second door on the back to get there. Nice atmosphere and excellent cocktails, a tad expensive though.
