Sunset Park residents brave Thanksgiving cold for BID’s annual tree lighting
It was a winter wonderland in Sunset Park.
Despite frigid temperatures, the Sunset Park Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District hosted its annual tree lighting ceremony on Thursday in front of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 60th Street and Fifth Avenue, complete with entertainment, pictures with Santa Claus, and gifts, all for free.
Executive Director for the BID David Estrada — part of the event for the first time under that title — called it a major success.
