talking 'bout a revolution

Don't get caught eating French fries to celebrate Bastille Day this year.

Instead, storm Bistro Pastis on July 14, where the $50 prix-fixe menu offers such Gallic classics as frisée salads with lardons, flank steak and pommes Dauphine, Bouillabaisse and chocolate profiteroles.

Meet the new head chef (who's worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens) and dance the night away to traditional French music.

And when your date has a few too many Kir Royales and reaches for the accordion?

Remind him of the old French saying: the definition of a gentleman is one who knows how to play the accordion...and chooses not to.
