A French afternoon in New York

Bonjour New York!
On Sunday, July 15, 2007 from noon to 6pm everyone is invited to be French for a day.

Join the Street Fair with French Flair! Experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of French culture.

Sample the cuisine of France, and French-speaking countries, purchase merchandise, hear live music, dance in the street and much more at the annual street fair.

Live performers and French Can Can will be presented on a stage (set up between Madison and Park Avenue) throughout the afternoon.

We invite you to come share the wonderful food with the French American community at an
\'open air picnic\' with tables set up along the three blocks with checkered table cloths—the Bastille Day street fair is renowned for its wonderful fare.

Family-friendly fun abounds! French-themed sports activities including a stationary Tour de France Bike Race provided by New York Health and Racquet Club, soccer work-outs with New York Red Bulls and pétanque provided by Petanque America.

Bonne chance! A raffle, with drawings throughout the day, offers the chance to win the Grand Prize of a pair of round-trip tickets to Paris courtesy of American Airlines and a grand prize.

Come play with us!


香不香？正宗法國風味小吃。嚐過以後覺得背景的鐵門更有法國味兒（其實是大都會俱樂部）。


How about Region Alsace?



and Petrossian? (老板的表情不咋的）


其實生意好著呢，嗬嗬


左邊是人


右邊還是人


有音樂的地方少不了high，更不用說是法語情歌


由帥哥演唱


不知道那位漂亮妹妹手上的攝像機裏有沒有裝帶子？


吉他手是個東方人


這位年輕姑娘的生意肯定不錯


還有比這點心更香更甜的嗎？


招貼畫是老了點，看這小姑娘一臉的迷茫


到French Institute裏麵品酒，還可以順便參觀一下現代美術作品


過馬路來到街這邊


不是沒有意圖的，


早聽說由Marion Cotillard主演的電影La Vie En Rose正在上映，正好得空看一場。


這部寫法國legendary歌唱家Edith Piaf 的電影很值得一看。電影描寫的Edith Piaf頗具悲劇色彩的傳奇人生很有深度。看後非常感動。




不出所料，電影院裏有一半以上是頗有身份的老紐約客，他們也許是忠實的歌迷，也許有人跟Edith有著什麽鮮為人知的故事也說不準：Edith Piaf 在1940-60年代常來紐約表演，電影裏有不少描寫。

出了電影院，也結束了一下午的法國風情。第5大道還是那麽熱鬧。


猛回頭，Oops:


再見，Paris! 再見，紐約！
