As long as neon is on my mind: Wandering the streets of Paris one Winter night with a friend, I was quite taken with the sight of a few takeout restaurants almost indistinguishable from a strip that could be in any city. Paris is magical to me and I hope to return — truth be told, I’d love to find a way to move there — and this little frame is a good reminder that it’s a city where a lot of people live and occasionally just need some quick takeout for dinner.
