New York in French

French kissing: la langue française. By Julia Frey. Les Français adorent s’amuser des gaffes que font d’ignorants Américains (et surtout Américaines), venus dans leur pays pour apprendre le français. Ils se moquent sans hésiter de celle qui s’annonce “excitée” par ses premières expériences de la langue, ou “pleine” à la fin d’un repas.

I hit Paris bistro saturation last weekend, and found myself in need of some new flavors and a new environment, so I ventured out to Belleville for a taste of their little Chinatown.
Chinese immigrants settled in the Belleville area in the 1920s, and you’ll see their influence up and down rue de Belleville, mixed in with African, Jewish, Greek and Armenian cultures. One of many good spots for ethnic food in the neighborhood, Le Pacifique has been around since 1983 and is still going strong, with good reason.

It's hard not to love Paris, but it takes time to feel comfortable. The sense of cultural collision may be strong and jet lag or fatigue makes things worse. So, here are 10 ways to raise your comfort level. When you plan a Paris trip, add these to your basic tips.
1. Take things slowly. Although rushing around is Parisian, rushing one's pleasures is not. A beautiful moment, a drink, a view; all are best when thoroughly savored. Slow yourself down by finishing every meal with a coffee. No big milky cup—just a proper Parisian café.

My stepmother recently e-mailed me, needing to know about French tea for a class she’s teaching. While I don’t claim to be an expert on every topic that starts with the word French, some people seem to think I am. So I did a little research.
From my own experiences at tea salons in Paris, tea is quite popular now, as are French tea salons. But it’s not the high tea that we know in the English tradition, with scones and tea sandwiches. Rather, it’s an experience that can be had in the off-hours [...]

I remember experiencing extreme joy and sadness last year after eating an exquisite meal at the home of US culinary power couple Braden and Laura, when they hosted their final installment of their supper club, Hidden Kitchen. The pair has since returned to hanging laundry in their dining room and entertaining just for family and intimate friends, but if you’re not related to them, you’re still in luck—Braden and Laura have opened their first Paris restaurant, Verjus.

French Wines: Le Sacré du Printemps
Parisian society in 1913 got an unexpected taste of pagan ritual during the premiere of Stravinsky’s adventurous musical accompaniment to Les Ballets Russes. Historical accounts of The Rite of Spring credited highly original rhythmic structures and previously unheard tonal dissonance for what appeared to drive the audience into a form of collective chaos, as the performance allegedly ended with fistfights in the aisles. The fusing of primitive and modern rendered the piece an instant icon.

With spring in the air, windows have been thrown wide open and partygoers are spilling out on balconies all over Paris, and you need something light and easy for the spontaneous get-together. With only a small amount of preparation involved in this little canapé, it’s the perfect French appetizer, which means you’ll be able to join your guests on the balcony in no time!
Smoked duck breast (magret de canard fumé) is a highlight of salads throughout France in the warmer months of the year, and just a few morsels of this smoky delight are enough to give a luxurious touch to any dish. Sliced paper thin, with a delicate, woody flavor, smoked duck breast goes remarkably well with a variety of ingredients, making it an ideal choice for including in your canapé menu for l’heure de l’apéro, when dinner guests arrive and glasses of wine and plates of canapés are passed around.
