I’m thinking that with the exception of Cinco de Mayo and Bastille Day, Americans haven’t really embraced very many holidays and commemorations specific to other countries: you never hear about a local restaurant celebrating Guy Fawkes Day or Sveriges nationaldag (National Day in Sweden).

But slowly, Bastille Day — July 14th marks the 223nd anniversary of the storming of the Bastille prison and fortress in Paris — has caught on, particularly since Kansas City now has several popular French restaurants. Here’s a petit listing of some of the more lively celebrations scheduled for tomorrow. It may be wise to make reservations in advance for these restaurant’s festivities.
