July Fourth Fun Thing: Dumbo Block Party

What to do after you've watched people stuff their faces with hotdogs and before the fireworks? Get back on the F Train and get thyself to DUMBO for the Fourth of July DUMBO Block Party. It's happening from 2pm - dusk on Pearl Street between Front and Water Streets and is billed as an "all day, free, family-oriented outdoor community event featuring DJ's by Halcyon, Pony rides courtesy of Wonk, Arts & Crafts by Half Pint and Jan Larsen Art, BBQ and booths featuring outstanding products and services from local businesses and artists."

Once you're in DUMBO, of course, it's a great place from which to watch the fireworks.
