Forget Hills and the O-Bomb for a moment and get down to the last greasy shard of our shameful divided past as Americans: the freedom fry. Remember that? Whether your dad likes it or not, the French totally saved our ass a while back—thanks in large part to Revolutionary War hero Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette. Bienvenue Lafayette! celebrates Lafayette’s visit to the Physick House during his 1824-’23 tour of the States (the one where he arrived broke and left loaded). Non-bigoted patriots and foodies who worship the mother sauce system alike can bring the kids to learn about French cuisine and the pleasant cascades of the parley-vous-doo language. While you’re there, take a look-see around the magnificent 30-room mansion that wine built and television saved. (Tara Murtha)
