PrintWeekend Excursion: Vivent Les Crêpes!
If, by Sunday night, your body still hasn't digested crêpes from the weekend, then your weekend wasn't so successful by Bastille Day terms. We'll also accept Belgian waffles, moules frites, Napoleons, eclairs, or any other foods from a French-speaking nation.
Two major street festivals are happening in two different boroughs. The first in Manhattan on 60th Street between Fifth and Lexington Avenues, hosted by French Institute Alliance Francaise (FIAF) between noon and 6 p.m. The second in Brooklyn on Smith Street between Bergen and Pacific Streets, where many neighborhood favorites like Bar Tabac will dish out food. This event goes a bit later than the midtown one—all day between noon and 10 p.m.
Thank you, French nation, for storming that Bastille so we could eat thin pancakes and stinky cheeses.

If you are adventurous enough to make your own crepes this week, here is a good basic recipe , along with ways to use them to make Brie Crep-O-Dillas with Avocado Creme Fraiche and Watermelon Tomato Salsa , Crepe Salad Bowls with Bistro Greens, Goat Cheese, and Cassis Vinaigrette , and Crepe Monsieur . Also, Tyler Florence's adapted Crepe Suzette looks genius. And a good place to go for crepes tomorrow is Mon Petit Cafe . Too bad Florent has closed...that was the best Bastille Day in New York. Let them eat crepes!
