We like the Fifth Avenue Fair because, while you can score tube sock and sunglasses, most of the local businesses come out and represent. We’re now totally done with street fairs for the season, with […]

Running low on tube socks? Be not afraid, for Street Fair Season cometh. The first South Brooklyn expression of the phenomenon is the Court Street Fair, which happens this Sunday (5/6).
