See all- French Conversation Meetup (New Paltz)Sideshow Kitchen & Bar, New Paltz, NY
Bonjour Ă tous !
Please RSVP and join us Wednesday, July 23 in New Paltz!
Once again, we'll try to meet outside (weather-permitting) at Sideshow. If it's too hot or too rainy, we'll meet inside at McGillicuddy's. Both are right in the center of town.
For anyone new to the group: These meetups consist of informal conversation, mostly in French, occasionally English when we get stuck. All levels are welcome. Just bring whatever French you have!
Nous espérons vous y voir !
The venues: Includes a range of pub food, beers, wine, and cocktails. Visit the McGillcuddy's website here and Sideshow website here for a look at the menus.
Parking: Paid parking ends at 6 p.m. There are two lots on Plattekill Ave near the restaurants; one just behind and another down a bit by village hall/department of public works. For street parking, Plattekill Ave, Main St, Route 32N (North Chestnut Street) or Church Street are good places to look.
RSVP: Even if you're a regular, please RSVP here and adjust your RSVP if you can't attend. This way we know how many to expect and can arrange accordingly with the venue. Also this lets you rate the event afterward. We currently have just 4.7 starts and really want to get to 4.8! âââââ
Etiquette note: During our French discussions, please donât correct others unless someone specifically asks for help. This allows people of all levels to feel more comfortable speaking. Merci d'avance !
Dons: If you find these meetings useful, consider making a donation of a few dollars, either in cash at the meeting or by Venmo: @William-Dendis
Instagram: Check out our Instagram account. We'll post the same announcements as Meetup, plus other French language and culture content.
