Bastille Day in Brooklyn

Bastille Day may have been yesterday, but the real celebration doesn't start until the weekend here in Brooklyn.

To party like its 1789, here's our guide:

Where to go: Smith Street is the mecca of all Bastille Day festivities, from the first-rate restaurants to the games of petanque that take over the street.

How to play: What's petanque, you say? We tell you the rules of the French pastime.

What to drink: Lillet is the liquor of choice, so drink it straight, or make Bar Tabac's Lillet Spritzer.

What to eat: Just in time, Park Slope's Moutard is revamped, and it's better than ever.
