Best Place to Eavesdrop Paris Coffee Shop 700 W Magnolia Av, FW
This Fort Worth institution is one of those rare spots where powerful businesspeople regularly rub elbows with the cowboy-hat-and-jeans type -- and all the types in between. That, along with the restaurant's open layout and constant bustle, makes for a delicious array of conversations from which to sample -- not to mention sampling the great pies and otherwise good food.
