A perfect Sunday afternoon can be interrupted with a traffic snarling street fair. I have never heard anyone say anything complimentary about these frequent events. This fair stretched through the Upper West Side.
A scourge on the good people of Manhattan, these rain or shine, make-shift bazaars can run for blocks and blocks and are typically filled with inexpensive sock vendors, tourist t-shirt specials, greasy food and dozens of booths selling a host of miscellaneous non-native items. However, power shakes are good.
Even though there is something remarkably unsanitary about the scene pictured above, how can you not love a florescent lime green "I ♥ NY" t-shirt wearing man with a huge watermelon-chopping cleaver in his hand?

so uh . . . was that last question there, ya know, rhetorical?

You don't like lime green? I suppose it is very 2004, but he wears it well.
Quite a few years ago I stumbled on to one of these on Amsterdam Ave. I think. You're quite right, it was mostly socks and T-shirts and stuff that generally looks like it 'fell off the back of a truck'.
But if it gets cars off the street, have at it I say.
Your previous post has a clearly visible I (heart) NY short too!
i am seeing the t-shirts everywhere. they are all the rage.
