3 Saturdays: August 6, 13 & 20, 2011, from 7:00am to 1:00pm
Park Ave. from Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park
Manhattan, NY
Cost: Free
For all ages
For three Saturdays in August, the sounds of honking horns and idling engines will be replaced with contented sighs and the cling-cling of bicycle bells on select streets throughout the City. From 7am to 1pm, and from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, Park Avenue and connecting streets will be closed to traffic and open to the public for anything from biking to strolling to dancing. Summer Streets events are great for your health (and the Earth's), so check them out.
