With one of the Delve girls fresh off a trip from Paris, we can’t get enough of the City of Lights over here. And with tomorrow being Bastille Day, we don’t have to let go of our obsession just yet. With cities like New York, San Fran and New Orleans hosting huge celebrations to honor the Parisian national holiday, what’s a Chicago girl to do? Fear not, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite ways to celebrate the most visited city in the world:- Pop into one of the Chicago’s most adored French restaurants, Bistro Margot, for specials including: $10 coq au vin, $10 beef bourguignon, $30 wine blitz and complimentary amuse bouches.
- We hear it’s a tradition in France for the president to host a garden party on Bastille Day, so why not pretend you’re royalty and spend the afternoon sipping champagne at the NoMi Garden?
- Buy tickets to the biggest thing to come from France to Chicago in a long time…the Paris Opera Ballet. 2012 Harris Theater subscription “French Twist” tickets - three performances that celebrate Paris - just went on sale.
- Delve’s Bridgeport favorite, Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar, is showing French film clips and serving French-inspired cocktail specials including The Situationist (Hennessy Black, Cointreau and lemon juice) and The Existentialist (gin, Luxardo Maraschino, Creme Yvette and lemon juice).
- Spend the day meandering through the Chicago French Market and pick up fixings to make your very own French-inspired dinner for two.
If nothing else, a glass of champagne should do.
À votre santé
