"Short of some scenario involving your dog dressed as Jean Valjean, Madame Claude Bis is about as close to Paris as you can get right now. Walk past the live jazz and French pop on the outdoor patio, and head down the stairs into an underground bistro where chalkboard signs listing the nightly specials hang on the brick walls. Pair some escargots or coq au vin with something from the great French wine list, before ending the night with a digestif and housemade crème brûlée." - matt tervooren
