Upcoming New York City Street Fairs 2006
New York City Street Fairs are little festivals designed to be a great weekend for all. There are bargains, street performers, and wonderfully delicious food expos. Stroll through the vintage and handmade items, engage in soul provoking blues and other musical treats, and partake in tasteful ethnic eats at bargain basement prices. All in all, what a wonderful way to spend a weekend in New York City. New York City Street Fairs happen with rhythmic frequency and you never have to wait long for another one to come around. Below are some of the upcoming New York City Street Fairs coming up in 2006.
Don’t forget that when you go to a street fair you need to realize that with it all depending on weather that you will need a backup plan should the weather turn for the worse. Don’t get sucked into buying things in the street fair that you wouldn’t buy normally. The prices look good, but the addage of “buyer beware” still applies. Ask for a business license and vendor card on higher priced purchases and pay with a credit card so that you have a bit of buyer protection. And lastly, keep an eye on your valuables. Whenever there is a crowd there is bound to be pickpockets. Watch for the “bump and run” where they accidentally bump into you and suddenly down the walkway you find out the wallet you were holding in the back pocket is gone.
