I stayed at Le Couvent des Récollets for three months. Here are some notes on facilities available in the vicinity of Gare De l'Est.
Post offices
There is one in the gare de l'est station but its well touristy. The one right outside around the corner on Rue du Faubourg Saint Martin (next to Avenue du Verdun) is better.
Markets/Supermarché
Marché couvert Saint Quentin is the closest. There is also a franprix on boulevard de Magenta.
Printers
There is a scientific book publisher opposite the Recollets. They are great and do not charge any admin fee unlike the Office Depot on Magenta. The small indian convienience stores all the way down rue du faubourg saint martin will also do a quick b/w print if you are desperate but print quality quite poor. Finally, Imprimier Magenta is good for large digital prints.
Best for high quality photographic prints will be Vikart on 29 Rue des Vinaigriers 75010 Paris around the corner of the wall from Recollets
Banks/ATMS
Don't recognise any of the french/european banks except HSBC which is is one street away if you walk straight out from Recollets' door, near bus terminus.
Late night food
Tasty crepes stand near bus terminus.
