Description: Very French; there is a need to expand this venue a couple of more blocks because there really was no room to navigate at all. The music and dance stage took up some room, plus they had cordoned off a section for children's races in the street, and that also took up more room. I expected French music here, but instead, we got reggae, which is just as well. Chuck and I got up on stage and let it all hang out. The kids were the best dancers, as you'll see in the pics.
They had French appetizers available, but nothing substantial, as the French restaurants lining the street on both sides were participants. So, we went into one of them and had a fabulous lunch and were serenaded by a French crooner who sang La Vie En Rose and other oldies. The place was packed with people. There was quite a bit of publicity for French companies and products; also a chance to win a trip to Paris. Hereagain, you can inhale some French culture in New York without some of the rudeness you encounter on the streets of Paris by dog-toting women. This happens every year, so plan to be there! July 14th is the date.
