The NYC Food Film Festival combines two great things: food-related flicks and some tasty eats. The fourth annual event runs June 23 to 27, but the day to visit is June 24, which will feature the Southeast Asian Street Food Market, where you can nibble on delicacies like pig's blood popsicles. Doesn't that sound refreshing on a hot summer day?

The evening will feature movies that explore the region's cuisine and chefs will pair exotic eats with the food flicks. New York toque Brad Farmerie, of Public and Double Crown, will curate the food-filled festivities.

Many American tourists are appalled to learn that not every Parisian café actually serves the things, but with a little effort, there are plenty of legs to choose from. Here are a few solid bets:
