Champagne & Jazz Party

The French do many things well—art, cuisine, fashion. Near the tippy-top of that list is, of course, their rich chocolates and smooth champagne. During Bastille Day on 60th St, take a break from all the rowdiness outside and head indoors to the eighth floor of the French Institute Alliance Française for a decadent tasting. You can try France’s most prestigious champagnes and pair the sips with European chocolates from Violà Chocolat and more mouthwatering bites. Velvet-voiced jazz songstress Chloé Perrier performs French and American songs from the 1920s to the '40s.
