The French Institute Alliance Francaise in New York offers a steady diet of French films, art exhibits, lectures, culinary events and language classes, as well as special cabaret nights and other attractions. Events are scheduled at 22 East 60th Street, where the FIAF has its headquarters, and in the Tinker Auditorium and the Florence Gould Hall, 55 East 59th Street.
