we recently tried @lotta__paris , and it already feels like one of the most exciting new openings in Paris’ 1st arrondissement.
created by @irahetacharlotte after years working in hospitality, the restaurant blends elegant service with a warm, effortless Mediterranean atmosphere.
alongside chef @meitzoumana , the menu celebrates Mediterranean flavors through generous yet refined dishes: standout pastas, escabèche mussels, revisited pissaladière flatbread, and comforting sharing plates. from sunny lunches to candlelit dinners, the ambiance feels both chic and relaxed.
Lotta is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to, especially for a date night or a long dinner with friends in the heart of Paris.
John Gotti was one of the most infamous mob bosses in New York history, leading the Gambino crime family during the 1980s and becoming a symbol of old-school mafia culture. unlike other crime figures who stayed hidden, Gotti embraced the spotlight: arriving at court in perfectly tailored double-breasted suits, silk ties, polished leather shoes, and a signature slicked-back hairstyle that made him instantly recognizable.
his style reflected everything he wanted people to see: confidence, authority, luxury, and fearlessness. he dressed less like a criminal and more like a powerful businessman, turning mafia fashion into a statement of status.
nicknamed “The Teflon Don” because charges seemed to never stick to him, Gotti became a cultural icon of New York’s underworld with his style.
*TWOARABMINDS does not glorify crime or violence and approaches these subjects strictly through historical and cultural analysis.
Paris from a balcony just hits different..
the Haussmann façades, the soft stone, the black iron details, the way the light moves across the buildings at the end of the day.
everything makes you fall in love with the city and never want to leave.
Joe Pesci probably gave the shortest Oscar acceptance speech in history.
when he won best supporting actor at the 1991 Academy Awards (the 63rd ceremony, honoring films of 1990) for his unforgettable role in Goodfellas, directed by Martin Scorsese, he kept it brutally simple: “it’s my privilege. thank you.”
just a few seconds long, yet instantly iconic.
