So you woke up in bed this morning, shoes still on your feet, only half a memory of last night and now you only have three things in mind: eating, eating and… eating. Strangely, you’re not exactly craving a bowl of grated carrot salad. No, what your heart truly desires is a beautiful plate of grease. In which case, you may cave but on two conditions. One: if possible, schedule a day-time nap - there’s very little chance that you’ll be productive at work after a big night out and an enormous burger. Two: go for ‘high quality’ grease: Marcel’s eggs benedict for example (which we’re pretty sure were invented for exactly for this reason), a good Sunday roast at Floyd’s, a massive sandwich at Rachel’s, or a marvellous burger at Ruisseau.
Every year like clockwork, the subject of ‘The New Years Eve Hangover’ comes around. It's January 1 and suddenly, no matter which channel you’re watching, which newspaper you open, or which website you’re on, the probability of stumbling across some article along the lines of: “It’s the morning after the night before, what’s the best hangover remedy?” rises to 99.99%.
And, here at Time Out Paris, we wanted to take part in this long-standing journalistic tradition. However, because we’re not secretly working for an industrial pharmaceutical firm, you’ll find only natural solutions here. And there’ll be no pre-emptive suggestions like “drink a litre of water before bed” or “don’t mix spirits” either – no poor, hungover soul wants to know what they should have done (or not done) last night. The damage is done - let’s fix it.
