There are boulangeries (bakeries), fromageries (cheese shops), charcuteries (delis), and boucheries (butchers) peppered throughout the streets. Wine is cheap and easily available in places like grocery stores, wine shops, and convenience stores (quite the opposite of being limited to the LCBO in Ontario).
Many cashiers at the grocery stores are seated while working, the first time I have seen this. Also a first sighting - a man carrying a Longchamp bag.
I'm staying at a place on Rue de Charonne, but when I first arrived, I ended up getting lost on Boulevard de Charonne before someone informed me that they are not the same streets. Turns out Rues and Boulevards of the same name will often intersect, a small but significant detail that I hope I'm not the only person who has overlooked.
Baguettes are indeed popular. Around the dinner hour, it is common to see people with a baguette or two (occasionally three) tucked under their arm. It's been the equivalent of seeing Torontonians with a Starbucks coffee in hand.
I have been greeted in the French style twice so far. I'm still unsure, but I think you go for the left cheek first, then the right.
Dogs and cafés found throughout the streets and boulevards.
