Take a ‘Summer Stroll on 3rd’ tonight in Bay Ridge
Bay Ridge shopkeepers hoping to drum up business in the sleepy summertime will stage a second “Summer Stroll on 3rd” this Friday night.
Third Avenue between 82nd and 89th streets will become a pedestrian plaza, with performances by a jazz band, bluegrass band, opera company, dance troupe, and more along the route. Outdoor cafes will be set up in front of restaurants.
“We want people to feel like they can come down to Third Avenue, take a leisurely stroll, relax, and enjoy life,” said Bina Valenzano, who is organizing the event for the Merchants of Third Avenue.
