Paris is our European base, and before athletes and tourists converged on the city for the Summer Olympics, Mike sampled Japanese-inspired cocktails at Danico; explored the potential of French ingredients at Le Syndicat, Grouvie and Vieux Carré; and made a pilgrimage to the historic Harry's Bar and Bar Hemingway. Plus, if you're in town for all of the action, don't miss our quick guide to Paris bourbon, cocktails and speakeasies.
