@joebstewart For years it was a mystery to me. Then I discovered that the church St. Julien le Pauvre, which is right next to these streets, is the largest Greek Orthodox church in Paris (and also one of the oldest churches in Paris). That explains the Greek restaurants. And it also explains why people stand in the restaurant doorways trying to lure customers, I think—must be a Greek custom.
I like this video. It is in my favorite nighborhood. Rue de Seine and Rue Buci. I stayed at the Hotel La Louisiane on Rue de Seine in the summer of 1964. And have been back many times to Rue de Seine and Rue Buci. I like the Asian carryout on Rue Buci. You walked right by it.
I once counted 15 Greek restaurants on the Rue Huchette.

My favorite neighborhood. Rue de Seine and Rue Buci.
Although Gallerie Lafayette is a favorite. Especially the 6th floor cafeterian and then up on the roof for the beautiful views of Paris.
