Paradou on Little West 12th Street is a relatively quiet nook in the madness of little west 12th. Gone are the days when Pastis is the only bistro in the area, now the streets are saturated with eateries. One place that never disappoints is Paradou. With a charming little backyard that is a calm alternative to many surrounding restaurants. It’s a perfect place to meet with friends for a bubbly beverage on a Sunday afternoon. (The food to follow the bubbly beverage is tasty as well).
