32 Things At Every New York City Street Fair

It's that time of year again. New York City shuts down streets to showcase the same thing on every block. It's New York City's version of the strip mall, only it moves. Once you've been to one, you've seen them all. See the complete list of NYC street fairs here.

1. Street Closures
