Bastille Day at L'Enfant

Note: This event has already occurred.

Quick Take

A "French maid race" is the centerpiece of the cafe's celebrations, which also includes drink specials and DJs spinning French tunes.

Editorial Review

This is the first Bastille Day since Les Halles closed, and the first time D.C. will be without its traditional waiters' race along Pennsylvania Avenue. The next-best thing? L'Enfant's hilarious French Maid Relay Race, which will close Vernon Street outside the restaurant. Last year, 30 women (and men) put on black-and-white costumes to participate; this year's race starts at 8, but you should show up closer to 5, when doors open, if you want to enter. Throughout the night, the young crowd enjoys French music on the stereo, wine and beer specials, free cake and an appearance by the lavishly dressed King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette..

The best place to celebrate Batille Day!

Posted by jimball202 | Jul 11, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

I am from Paris and I have NEVER had a better time during Bastille Day then I had last year at L'Enfant cafe in Adams Morgan. This year, they are closing the street and have room for tons of guests. There is a street bar and the opportunity to have one of the best times you have had in DC.
