Ok, so Paris has been here for years and years. I have older friends who tell stories of when they went there in the early 90's with good memories. Personally, I like to call it home. Yes, the clientelle is very yuppie(ish)...Yes, the service really stinks sometimes...Yes, the coffee can be good (depending on how well it was roasted that week)...Yes, the music is blared so loud sometimes that you can't think...Yes, the chairs are incredibly uncomfortable and the tables are so close together that you feel everyone's in your bubble...And yes, they did close down the bookstore, but I feel that one thing makes up for it all - You can smoke legally here! The art is also typically decent and from local artists (although I'm sure that the colors are a lot brighter before they are hung up there...tar stains). To top this all off, the Internet (wireless AND wired) is fairly decent, as long as no one is downloading music illegally. Basically, if you want what God intended to be soulmates (coffee and cigarettes), and have some decent food, Paris on the Platte is an excellent choice for lunch to early morning fun.
