Just a few scenes at the Loisaida Festival today

A few moments from the 25th anniversary of the Loisaida Festival today on Avenue C... via Jacob Anderson ... always one of the best street festivals around...




Ivy Irizarry-Rivera, right, of Ivy Jewel, was one of the few vendors based in the neighborhood... (Many of the other vendors were from the outer boroughs, according to festival officials...)


Above, Sixth Street resident David Joffe gives a demonstration of one of his trinkets for sale...

I was dissapointed at all the generic street fair stands, but mostly at the fact that I got a styrofoam box of rice, one plantain and some low-quality pulled pork/fat and the guy said "$15" after handing it to me.
I looked at him like he had two heads.
Is that the white man price?
$15, fuck that, I woulda gone to a restaurant.

If you want to support local merchants, patronize their stores. Street fairs suck and are a nuisance.
