Bastille Week set to kick off in New York

New York is about to get some French flavor, as Bastille Week kicks off Monday, celebrating French culture and food with events and restaurant deals citywide.

Now in its third year, Bastille Week events will sweep through the city, including a Petanque tournament on Thursday and a Bastille Day ball on Friday before culminating with a street fair on Sunday.

The week coincides with French Restaurant Week, during which dozens of French restaurants in Manhattan will offer special meals at $17.89 - a price that reflects the year the French Revolution began.
