We stayed in to rest for the morning then decided we should get out for a least a walk. We walked around for a while then decided to go to Le Marais ("The Marsh"), is a historic district in Paris, France, a Jewish Area on the rue des Rosiers (Street of Roses). It is still a major Jewish center of the community with bookshops, kosher butcher shops, boulangeries (restaurants) (aka Jewish Deli, Edward's favorite), and synagogues. It also has some outstanding old buildings. The area is located in the 3rd and 4th Districts of Paris on the Rive Droite (the Right Bank) of the Seine River and not far from Norte Dame Cathedral.
We just located the street and were looking at all the restaurant menus when I saw all these people standing in a line for "take out" and also to go inside the restaurant. The guy out in front said it is "the best falafel ever" at LA's du Fallafel. the fallafel contained - 5 or 6 crisp garlicky chickpea fritters, creamy hummus, lightly pickled red cabbage (more like a slaw), salted cucumbers, 2 slices of fried eggplant and a just a little harissa. This all came in a huge pita. I ate mine on a plate with a fork it was way too big to eat as a sandwich. They say it is supposed to be eaten as a sandwich to make it even better. We also had a Kosher Beer with it. GREAT FUN and another Barnett “stumble into” adventure. It is as good as they advertised.
