New Morning
A 450-capacity room running since 1981, broad enough in its booking to put gospel, the Bad Plus, Kenny Garrett and Joshua Redman in a single fortnight.

It is a standing-and-bar room, not a seated club — arrive early for a sightline.

Le Grand Rex
1 Boulevard Poissonnière, opened December 1932 — the largest cinema in Europe (2,800 seats), and still operating. Art Deco facade, fortress-style spire, Spanish-Mediterranean themed interior with painted starry ceiling that has its own weather (clouds drift across before the film). Classified historic monument 1981.
Worth seeing a film in the main hall (Salle Grand Rex) — the smaller side rooms are ordinary. There's a backstage tour (les coulisses du cinéma) that includes the projection booth. The starry-ceiling 'meteo' starts about 15 min before the show.
- Hidden Parisstop 6 of 6 · 640 m
The smallest house in Paris
39 Rue du Château d'Eau (10th): one room wide, one window per floor, three floors total. Built around 1880 to fill a property dispute — the family on either side refused to sell, so the inheriting daughter built up vertically in the alley between them.
Walk along Rue du Château d'Eau between Place de la République and Boulevard de Strasbourg. The house is between nos. 37 and 41. It's a private home — don't ring the bell.
Within a few minutes' walk
- Jah Jah by Le TricycleVegan Afro-Caribbean€ · 1 minA vegan Afro-Caribbean kitchen that grew out of three years selling hot dogs off a delivery tricycle. The daily bowls stack grains, legumes and sauce-slicked vegetables, flanked by cauliflower wings and the namesake hot dog.
- Urfa DürümKurdish / Turkish dürüm€ · 2 minA counter doing chicken or kefta dürüm grilled to order and rolled in a thin galette with herbs and onion — among the best cheap eats on Faubourg Saint-Denis.
- 52 Faubourg Saint-DenisNeo-bistro€€ · 2 minA walk-in-only neo-bistro from the Compagnon group with a short rotating menu — the egg-yolk ravioli with ham and mushroom is the signature.
- Le SyndicatSpeakeasy bar€€ · 3 minThe storefront is papered over with torn gig posters; the only signal is a gold metallic curtain. Inside, every cocktail is built exclusively from French spirits — Armagnac, Cognac, Calvados, Chartreuse.
- PoulicheNeo-bistro€€ · 3 minAmandine Chaignot's dining room trades on shared starters and a precise seasonal main, and at weekday lunch it stays inside the €30 line that her dinner menu abandons. Sundays bring a roast chicken carved at the table.
- La Reine du KashmirIndian / Pakistani€ · 4 minOne of the steadier kitchens in the covered Passage Brady, the glass-roofed alley of South Asian restaurants behind Strasbourg–Saint-Denis. Skip the touts working the passage and order the biryani or a tandoori-grill thali.
Where to stay near New Morning
- Hôtel Paradis ParisBudget design hotel€€ · 5 minA 3-star boutique on a quiet pedestrianised street between Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est; 38 individually styled, light-filled rooms with distinctive headboards.
- Le Grand QuartierBoutique hotel€€ · 7 minA former industrial building reorganised around a planted central courtyard, with a café-bistrot, a shop and a rooftop folded into the same address. The 77 rooms keep the warehouse proportions; the ground floor functions less like a lobby than a neighbourhood canteen.
- Hôtel EstéBoutique hotel & pool€€ · 9 minA four-star between Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord built around a nine-metre indoor pool, with hammam and sauna attached — an unusual amount of water for a hotel this size.

The district · 10e
Canal Saint-Martin & Gare du Nord — Canal ParisThe locks and iron footbridges of the Canal Saint-Martin, the South Asian Passage Brady, the Faubourg Saint-Denis food strip, and two big stations. Young, mixed, and where a lot of the good cheap eating is.
Best for: Twenty-somethings and food-first travellers; lively rather than pretty.
