There are many beautiful things in Paris
The making (and obliteration) of a Nutella street crepe is just one of them.

About Me
- Amy Thomas
- Chocolate makes me happy. So does dried pineapple. And cookies and nearly any kind of baked good. I know it's a universal obsession, loving sweets, but I'm so consumed by it that I have to document and share it. On top of chronicling my personal sweet adventures here, I created and pen the Sweet Freak column for Metro newspaper and have spent years doing meticulous fieldwork. I've written about Paris' best chocolatiers (New York Times), desserts for two (Time Out New York), chocolate for guys (Rachel Ray) and the best hot chocolate in the city (Metro). Thanks for reading!

That looks amazing! Have one for me too :)
Have the most delicious fun in Paris - I can't wait to see all your photos and posts!!! ^_^
I was just thinking today how I should really make a bunch of crepes and keep them in the fridge to spontaneously heat up for snacks. Avec la Nutella bien sur!
I'm in love with that pic of the guy handing you the Nutella crepe. I've always been a sucker for men with dimples, but a man with dimples handing out a crepe smeared with Nutella!? I'm in love!
Merci, mes amies!
Yes, this guy was a charmer... all the more reason to go back for seconds and thirds and...
Stay tuned - more pretty deliciousness on its way!
