one more month until you can sing about april in paris. for now, find your triple threat, get mad and find some francs for food with this list of march eats:

tapas time.
it's the closest to spain you can get without taking a flight. bodega 64 is a new tapas bar in the marais, from the owners of the très popular la casa san pablo. order the yummy croquettes, potato tortillas, irresistible spanish ham and sip some tangy sangria. now open. 64 rue françois miron. near rue de fourcy, 4e. 01.48.04.59.11.


triple threat.
three young restaurateurs have put their good looks and brains together to open new bar, lounge and resto baxo (pictured). go for the eclectic food, funky electro bands and cocktails. can't you just taste the scallops gratin? now open. 21 rue juliette dodu. near rue de la grange,10e. 01.42.02.99.71. www.baxo.fr


mad about you.
princess vicky (AKA bianca casady) is mad about tea. the avant garde artist stirs it up at mad vicky's tea gallery conjuring up brews like "blue lemon head" and "chocolate zion - brown addiction." sip the exotic teas and have a taste of the works by in-house artists leif and tooya. now open. 3 rue nicolet. near rue ramey, 18e. no phone available. www.madvickysteagallery.com


francs for food.
you love long, rich lunches at the bistros, but sometimes you need it quick and healthy. cojean, a clean food resto machine, just opened its 10th location. attractive (okay, hot) waiters serve up american style sammies like fresh turkey and swiss on brioche, along with hearty soups, quiches and homemade granola. now open. 64 rue des mathurins. near boulevard malsherebes, 8e. 01.49.29.09.24. www.cojean.fr


le dunkin donuts.
there's nothing like a buttery croissant, except for when you crave donuts. crave no more: coffee union has the real deal with 13 varieties including chocolate sprinkles, pink glaze with coconut and powdered sugar. a boîte of six cost €7.90, but you know you want the whole dozen (14.90€). 11 boulevard des fille calvaire. at rue de oberkampf, 3e. 01.42.77.51.99. www.coffeeunion.fr
