PS87 is having its annual street fair tomorrow (11 -4), with rides, games, food. Always fun. Check it out if you're in the region of West 77 between Columbus and Amsterdam. (sorry for the spam like quality of this). [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

or: yeah, and didn't op said it was a "street" fair? doesn't that mean that the fair is in the 'street', and that the street is closed to traffic? Is it on the school's playground? Then it's not a street fair. If it is on the street, what street? [ Reply | More

you're kind of nasty. It is a street fair, where the street is blocked off. However, they do use parts of the playground. Ergo, the fair is on 77th which is the back of the school. Do you just need to be right? Don't bother going tomorrow, you're a cranky broad. [ Reply | More

huh? someone said it's a street fair, then someone said it's on W.77th St. So I figured the st fair was on a closed off W 77 St, and wondered why if the school wason W.78. Completely legitimate question. Then, in response, someone (you, presumably) simply said that the playground was on W77: implication to that is that the fair is on the playground. At best, it was confusing. So now what you mean to say, which you could have said earlier in response to save me this wasted time, is that the street fair is on W77 and that it is there because it is also held on the playground. I care because I live on W 77. [ Reply | More

it is weird that the school doesn't hold the fair on W.78th Street. maybe they thought W77 st would get them more spill over from people coming to the flea market who otherwise wouldn't know of the school's fair. [ Reply | More

op here. The fair is held on West 77 street because the there are three playgrounds on the block, so there's more room. The entire street is closed off for the fair, and the playgrounds are used as well. The school exits onto 77th street (that's where dropoff and pick up is). [ Reply | More
