The Fifth Avenue Fair is on Sunday, and even though Gowanus Lounge tires of street fairs by June–and especially of their, um, sameness–we dig this one. That’s because it is one of the fairs that retains some local flavor, with dozens of businesses from the nabe and Brooklyn setting up tables and stands.

(If you too have that “seen one, seen them all” feeling, it’s because many are produced by a handful of companies. Hence, the same assortment of sausage stands, mozareppa spots, sunglass vendors, etc.)

The photo here is from last year’s is from last year’s extravaganza.

Be there.
