"This wine bar along popular Oberkampf might cause you to make a major life decision. It’s the kind of Parisian hangout where you’ll refill your glass so much that before calling it a night, you’ll declare on your socials that you’re moving to Paris, if you don't live here already. It's loud, busy, and there's not a lot of fuss, but a ton of heart. There's also just the right amount of chaos. Aux Deux Amis is a bit more chill during the day when they’re open for lunch and serve an inexpensive prix fixe meal. But mementos in the form of wine stains on the yellow formica tables remain (and proliferate), as do overflowing ashtrays on the tables outside." - sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta
