French NYC

The Statue of Liberty and ballet are French. Bastille Day on 60th St. is our big New York celebration. Mardi Gras is our big international celebration. FIAF is NYC’s big French cultural center and library.

The concept of “Latin America” is French. New York Latin Culture Magazine was began publishing as Tango Beat® in Paris, France in 2009. Lingerie is French and so is modern pornography. English is just French badly pronounced. Oh là là.

PS: This is a learning project. We have made some mistakes, but with your help, we get better every year. Also we use the pronoun "we" no matter who we are writing about. Creating a "them" is the first step in dehumanization. In our world, there is no "them," there is only "us." Thank you for joining us.
