...world grows nostalgic at the thought of Paris' famed outdoor cafes and its deep discothèque caves. That is, everyone except the Parisians. In recent years, the young yé-yé set has been crossing the street from St. Germain-des-Prés's venerable Les Deux Magots and swinging into Le Drugstore for a short-order hamburger or a fairly auhentic banana split.

There's a Santo Domingo-Go, a San Diego-Go, and a Pago Pago-Go. Paris's Left Bank has a new fruggery called the Vincent Van Gogh-Gogh (it's just across the street from the more famous Deux Magots-Go). Duke Ellington's new place is called the Mood Indigo-Go, and the squares out in Pasadena are in waltz time at the Long...
