Hey NYC party people! 16 August 2009 1:53 pm

Want to do something awesome today? Then come on up to Harlem Day, the epic street fair currently rocking West 135th Street from St. Nicholas Street on eastwards (that would be the 135th street B/C stop, by the way). It runs until 7 PM tonight, and at sunset there’s a free screening of The Wiz in St. Nicholas Park (West 135th and St. Nicholas), preceded by live music, all courtesy of the fine folks at ImageNation. Can you say “best audience ever?” I knew you could! Anyway. Come one, come all! It’s going to be awesome!

I am freshly back from Peter’s successful Ph.D. defense in Eugene, which means it’s time for a shower and a nap, but my dinner plans for later include trying to eat my weight in barbecue and/or maybe just the delicious candied yams available from the fine Harlem Day street food vendors. If all this sounds vaguely familiar to you, it’s probably because Peter and I stumbled into the festival last year with delicious results:

Delicious Harlem Week street food.

This year, Peter is still in Oregon, but I will do my best to do him proud with gluttony. And then I will enjoy a free movie in the park, and if you’re reading this, you’re extra-bonus invited. Yay!
