Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Tomorrow marks the day when French nationals, Francophiles, Francophonies and the majority of Denver's French restaurants celebrate Bastille Day, the national holiday of France that commemorates the storming of the Bastille in 1789 at the start of the French Revolution. But Le Central, 112 East Eighth Avenue, is getting an early start, beginning at 6 p.m. tonight, with a pre-Bastille party.
And you can bet it's going to be wild one, especially since the bistro is debuting its new patio (which is always reason for celebrating), on which patrons will be generously fed and lubricated with $3 glasses of sangria and all-you-can-stomach paella for $10 per person. About that paella: It'll be cooked in a pan that's big enough to feed fifty people -- which is pretty revolutionary in and of itself. For more info, call 303-863-8094.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
