 Calling all mermaids |
Surf Avenue, from West 19th to West 10th streets New York, NY 11224 United States +1 718 372 5159 http://www.mermaidparadeball.com/ |
The first Saturday after the summer solstice (late June), the Coney Island boardwalk is the scene for some seaside craziness. Celebrants dress as mermaids, mer-men and even mer-babies, in a cross between a family outing, a Brooklyn Mardi-Gras and a drag queen festival. The food is plentiful and the people-watching is even better. The parade is free but just be aware that nudity may be involved. Not that that's a problem. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Little Italy community has existed since the 19th century, when thousands of Italian immigrants populated the Lower East Side. While very few Italians live in the neighborhood today, the community spirit continues to be exhibited every September for 10 days, as millions of people of all nationalities enjoy the festive atmosphere, games, and of course, the food. Sausage, calamari, pizza, pasta and pastries attract the crowds, and the party atmosphere keeps them there until late at night. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
