Living French in October

How would you like to spend the entire month of October sipping wine on the Mediterranean and munching on Southern French cuisine? While taking a month off of work for a French rendezvous is most likely impossible, you can get a taste of the Mediterranean lifestyle right here in New York City. The Languedoc-Roussillon, France’s most diverse wine-producing region, will bring their products to New York’s restaurants, wine bars, and wine shops for the “Festival Sud de France.”

Each neighborhood from Astoria to the Upper West Side, and even parts of Connecticut, has several spots to hit up throughout the month. I have included a list of the participating businesses in a few of the neighborhoods below:

East Village (near space for lease 83 E. 7th Street): Astor Wines, Discovery Wines, Hearth Restaurant, Jules Bistro, and Terrior

Tribeca (near space for lease 50 Hudson Street): Capsouto Freres, Cercle Rouge, Maslow 6

Upper West Side (near space for lease 2626 Broadway): 67 Wine & Spirits, Bacchus Wine Store, Bar Boulud, French Roast Uptown, Gotham Wines & Liquors, Nice Matin

If just tasting isn’t enough for you, a week of wine and food courses will be taking place October 5-9. Course participation is $25, and you can register at www.festival-suddefrance.com/ny.
