I have seen this photo attributed to Chicago and other places. I doubt this is in Paris.

Even the NYT only writes according to our 1933 photo caption.

Everything in this photo is in English. Even the writing on the mechanical piano is in English. I have to admit that I am not an expert on 1933 Paris, but again you would have a hard time to find anything like that in France even today.

The man in the background has a cap with "NEW TOWN", the poster on the right ends with "our prices", the leaflets say "Crying towel". No way this is in Paris, the NYT needs to hire people who can use a scanner and their eyes to say the place is probably in the US and at first glance they don't know where.
