Runner up is Picos, with the "French Ending" question (anyone who can add their two centimes to mine are welcome). . thanks to everyone who participated!

Halloween Party: Win a Magnum of Champagne

DateWednesday, October 29, 2008

I'm in Boston on the Naughty Paris book tour on Halloween this year, but if I was in Paris I would defintely be at the Flûte Etoile's "Halloween Prohibition Party." Flûte is the "Champagne Speakeasy", a small, intimate bar just near the Arc de Triomphe. The costume theme for the party is "1920s or smoking (tuxedo)" with a free cocktail offered for each guest and a magnum of Champagne for the best costume.

October 31, 8pm-11pm.

Flûte Champagne Lounge
19 rue de l'Etoile, 17th
