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？正宗法国风味小吃。尝过以后觉得背景的铁门更有法国味儿（其实是大都会俱乐部）。


How about Region Alsace?



and Petrossian? (老板的表情不咋的）


其实生意好着呢，呵呵


左边是人


右边还是人


有音乐的地方少不了high，更不用说是法语情歌


由帅哥演唱


不知道那位漂亮妹妹手上的摄像机里有没有装带子？


吉他手是个东方人


这位年轻姑娘的生意肯定不错


还有比这点心更香更甜的吗？


招贴画是老了点，看这小姑娘一脸的迷茫


到French Institute里面品酒，还可以顺便参观一下现代美术作品


过马路来到街这边


不是没有意图的，


早听说由Marion Cotillard主演的电影La Vie En Rose正在上映，正好得空看一场。


这部写法国legendary歌唱家Edith Piaf 的电影很值得一看。电影描写的Edith Piaf颇具悲剧色彩的传奇人生很有深度。看后非常感动。




不出所料，电影院里有一半以上是颇有身份的老纽约客，他们也许是忠实的歌迷，也许有人跟Edith有着什么鲜为人知的故事也说不准：Edith Piaf 在1940-60年代常来纽约表演，电影里有不少描写。

出了电影院，也结束了一下午的法国风情。第5大道还是那么热闹。


猛回头，Oops:


再见，Paris! 再见，纽约！
