This weekend it's time to dust off that beret and break off a piece of freshly-baked baguette. That's right, it's Bastille Day, or French National Day. The annual tradition is celebrated in NYC every July with all things French: food, goodies, culture, etc.
In the past, I have attended the Bastille Day street fair on 60th Street. It is a fun (albeit crowded) day on the East Side loaded with French Cuisine and desserts. (Who can resist a French pastry?) However, until I stumbled upon the blog Tracy's New York Life, I would have never known there was more to Bastille Day!
The blog, created by Tracy Kaler, is full of all things NYC: Events, Style, Culture, Travel. Basically every cool thing that happens (or is going to happen) in New York, she writes about it. Originally a personal blog about her experiences in New York, it has now transformed into an informative guide to the city. Tracy often welcomes guest contributors to also post on her blog.
Her post, 5 Ways to Feel French During NYC Bastille Week, is a really informative guide to the best activities surrounding Bastille Day. This post gives readers a plethora of options. From deals on French restaurants to the Bastille Ball, Tracy's picks are great for solo explorers. Like I said, I've only attended the street fair once, so Tracy's post gives you the low down on how to be tres chic this weekend.
So take this weekend to honor the French; after all, they did give us a nice little gift named Lady Liberty! I think we can all appreciate that.
