This weekend's ArtCrawl Harlem tour (via trolley, no less) was featured in today's New York Times: LINKSaturday August 6th, 11:00 AM, 5th Avenue and 124th Street. The new Mount Morris Park Historic District Farmers Market will have its official ribbon-cutting ceremony with Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer doing the honors! Those further west should remember to stop by the Manhattan Avenue and 110th Street Morningside Farmers Market.
Sunday, August 8, from 2:00 PM-4:00 PM. Afro-Cuban Dance Music from Something Positive will be performing inside Central Park at 110th Street (between 5th and Lenox Avenues) as part of the annual Harlem Meer Performance Festival. www.CentralPark.com
Sunday, August 8th, The Giglio Festival at Pleasant Avenue and 114th Street. Lifting of the massive 6-story religious obelisk (top photo) starts at 2:00 PM. Highly recommended. www.EastHarlemGiglio.com
Never underestimate the power of a Times blurb. Walked past Casa Friela and there was quite a large crowd. Certainly more than could fit in the "trolley' outside.
ReplyDeleteJudging from the amount of people the Art Crawl looks like quite a success.
