Jennifer, in NYC we have Street Fairs in the summer. They started out as enjoyable summer distractions but now, 20 years later they have become traffic clogging silliness. They grew to such proportions in the late 80s that the city passed laws saying you can't have a street fair unless the proceeds benefit a nonprofit organization (because it seemed like there was a street fair on some street every summer Saturday or Sunday). Well, it didn't cut down on the number of street fairs, the promoters just went out and found nonprofits willing to put their name on a banner so the promoter could legally have a street fair. You rarely find anything of interest at these things. It's the same bad ethnic food, cheap socks, cheap bedding (sheets, pillows, comforters, etc.) loud house mix CDs, etc., etc., etc., (a King and I reference). They have lost their allure for me. They rarely have any kind of "craft" booth or much art other than kitschy things. Sorry, this is turning into a minor rant about street fairs in NYC. Didn't mean it to go that far. Suffice it to say, there are very few craft fairs on the streets of New York. There are Art Fairs in various armory buildings and the Greenwich Village Art Fair down near Washington Square Park and NYU in the spring and fall. Enough, enough he says. Go away and let someone else post.
