Starting tomorrow, Bedford Avenue from North 4th to North 9th
Street will be open to pedestrians only on six Saturdays
from noon to sunset. This year’s Williamsburg Walks is a project of community residents along with Neighbors Allied for Good Growth and The L Magazine.
Every Sunday in June, Vanderbilt Avenue between Dean Street and Park Place will go car-free from noon to 5 p.m., thanks to the Vanderbilt Avenue Merchants District and the Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council. Says the PHNDC: “There will be music, art and gardening, face painting, sun and trees, shopping, eating and relaxing, biking and performances, and people watching. Plus a few surprises.”
Word is there will be plenty more Summer Streets action this year. Stay tuned.
