let’s talk about LYON for a little bit more. we happened to walk past the POLA CAFE a few days after it opened. i don’t feel like the interior is super nice – it all looks a little like it was thrown together without much thought – so to me this is really a place to go for the terrace in summer time. but if you do go inside to order, make sure to check out the awesome collection of vintage toys and polaroid cameras strewn about. if that doesn’t make you want to take some old fashioned snaps, i don’t know what will. oh, and this neighborhood? totally worth checking out. there’s plenty of young designer boutiques and curious little shops to discover.
