As you may have heard, the 2nd Annual East Village Cavalcade of Pomp is underway now in the neighborhood... part of the HONK NYC! Festival.

Per the HONK NYC Facebook page:

    I may be in the minority but I HATE it when brass bands march around and play on the sidewalk. They always seem to play for too long and too loud when I'm trying to chill at home. If I wanted to hear music, I'd go to a show.

    You're probably not in the minority, especially if you prefer heroin dealers to marching bands.
