jip jip hooray.
The bustling center of Châtelet Les Halles is a confusing mix of chain restaurants, wholesale shops and an expansive, never-ending construction site that contributes to a confusing environment and attitude.
Two steps from the center marked by the Fountain des Innocents is Jip's Cafe, an Afro-Cuban bar-resto that has the most delicious coffee cocktails in all of Paris.
The decor is shabby-chic, with upcycled glass liquor bottles that serve as carafes d'eau, with huge multicolored melted wax candles displayed on mismatched wood tables.
Five euros will get you a cafe del Rio: heavily rhumed coffee topped with whipped cream and roasted coffee beans.
Stop in for a drink and realize you've passed by countless times without realizing. Sunday nights are best for people watching--dance instructors teach salsa starting around 5pm.
