Two Bastille Day Street Festivals in July


1. Sunday, July 12, 5-8PM - Bartabac: Brooklyn
2. Tuesday, July 14, 4-7PM - Cercle Rouge: Tribeca

Both Brooklyn's Smith Street and Tribeca's West Broadway will become true Parisian Thoroughfares this July; each blocked off and covered with 10 tons of sand for the world's two largest Petanque tournaments, (the French spin on Bocce). Piping-hot Merguez, ice-cold Stella Artois on tap and plenty of Ricard annisette are the staples. And for you dancers, the street becomes so slick next to the pomme frites stand that it becomes just as good as any waxed parquet dance floor .

All this and the exquisite sounds of the 11-piece Dreamland Orchestra.

Michael appears twice a week at this auto-repair shop-turned chic Mediterannean-Fusion oasis.

Monday Nights: Michael croons standards and ballads with his trio. Look for his '51 Lincoln parked out front.

Wednesday Nights at the Clover Club

The Michael Arenella Quartet

Join us at Smith Street's swankiest new "Speak", from the proprietor's of Manhattan's fabled Flatiron Lounge. Champion, well - groomed mixologists will stir up your favorite old - time cocktail, whether it's a Ramos Fizz or a real Whiskey Sour.

Fresh bitters, black cherries and even the long forgotten essential ingredient to a true cocktail, the egg, are among the charms to be found.

Tasty gourmet bar food menu.
Cozy up with the Quartet in a handsome leather booth, for Brooklyn's most sublime evening out.
(Room to dance, but keep it a secret.)
