Aux Folies

Description:

• In a neighborhood known for its immigrant community stands a lively bar with weathered red mosaic tiles and crammed full of ragged tables and chairs. Because of its location, Aux Folies attracts mostly locals. Tourists might be turned away from the bar's grungy and tired appearance, but Aux Folies doesn't need their business anyway. During the summer, the outside terrace never empties from the end of the workday to the end of the night. To pace between the relatively cheap drinks, there's always the option of checking out what's new in the graffiti-dazzled alley around the corner. Or, there's a pinball machine inside. - Betsy Mikel
