The Roaring 20s came alive again in the Batignolles last Friday. IIP/PIF interns, some employers and members of the Paris Princeton community literally got a taste of Hemingway's Paris ...


Sylvia Beach's "Shakespeare and Company" where Hemingway borrowed books...

"Brasserie Lipp" where he loved to drink a cold beer and eat potato salad and cervelas with mustard. 

My amazing PIF interns, Nivanthi and Brian who helped me pull this off
