   Many people like drama if it’s not their own. Many other people like to try ethnic food. If you find yourself falling into one of these two categories, then Philadelphia is the place to be on Saturday, July 11.   
    At 2:30 p.m., the London Grill, located at 2301 Fairmont Ave., will celebrate Bastille Day with an afternoon full of rioting and uprisings, including a reenacted beheading of Marie Antoinette. There will also be delicious French cuisine, live musical entertainment and other festivities to mark the events that set the French Revolution into action.
    A "mob" of enraged costumed Parisians will storm the historical Eastern State Penitentiary, which will be acting as a stand-in for the Bastille. Armed troops will fake-capture Antoinette and drag her to a real, functioning guillotine, ignoring her scathing cries to “Let them eat TastyKate!” as she tosses over 2,000 of the delicious, local treats from the prison’s towers. After the guillotine has fallen, London Grill will serve up the audience with champagne and divine French dishes created by culinary master Michael McNally.

    Probably as good as the real thing. From what I hear France closes down for the Tour de France and tourists watching the Parade in Paris are then left in a city of closed stores and resturants
