Treat yourself to a Street Fair

This morning, I woke up and casually glanced outside my window like I do every morning. I do this mostly to check the weather or idly watch a stranger walking their dog. But today, as I peaked out the window facing 8th avenue, I found a street fair. I am always pleased when I happen upon a street fair, but never actually think about tracking them with a schedule. But as I meandered through the fair smacking my lips and devouring corn, crepes, and fair lemonade, I decided I might just become a follower. Why not? The food is tasty and the novelty of casually strolling in the middle of the street is almost too good to pass up.
I have become even more appreciative of the fairs after learning that some may be cut as part of Mayor Bloomberg's budget. I've decided to enjoy a street fair here and there while I still can. I just hope they don't cut the extra good street fairs, like The Feast of San Gennaro Festival. Even with the cuts, street fairs are a huge part of city life and they add that little perk to waking up and finding your street has been picked to host. It is almost better not to follow the schedule and leave the whole business up to chance.
