"A living memorial to Paris' Art Deco legacy, La Coupole has seen more than its fair share of Parisian who's who. Patti Smith played guitar on the terrace. Henry Miller came for breakfast. Jane Birkin used to lunch here, as did Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse and James Joyce. The menu includes typical French brasserie food, with a particularly strong seafood emphasis. Order a side of buttery whelks or winkles with one of the seafood platters, which are as delicious as they are photogenic." - Lindsey Tramuta, Sara Lieberman
