Feel Tricolore as Bastille Day approaches. If you look forward to an afternoon of Pastis and Petanque, Bar Tabac in Brooklyn, New York holds its annual Petanque Tournament.
Merguez, frites and Ricard are on the menu as well as music by the Baby Blue Orchids and the Francois Wiss Ensemble.
A Bal Musette maybe.
Bar Tabac is located at 128, Smith Street and Dean Street.
Want to keep abreast of Petanque News in the New York area, La Boule New York is the place to check.
On the New Jersey side (even though Brooklyn is closer to me), Frenchtown has a Bastille Day Festival on July 12 and 13 (my illustration).
Washington DC celebrates Bastille Day at the French Embassy (my illustration).
For events in other U.S cities such as Boston, Austin, Seattle and more, take a look at the TV 5 Listing.
Most of them take place on either Saturday 12 or Sunday 13 not July 14 as in France.
I first heard about the Brooklyn festivities thanks to Katia of Pardon Me for Asking.
As for my plans after reading Hail to the Chef (FT Week End) recounting a backyard party at Daniel Johnnes home, a Sunday afternoon cookout sounds great.
