It's hot as heck today in The Slope but that didn't stop us from checking out "Heaven on Seven" - the 7th Avenue Street Fair that runs all the way from Flatbush Ave. to 16th Street. Learning from our past mistakes on the 5th Avenue Street Fair, we decided to stick to the establishments that we knew - so opted for the $5 Shrimp Pad Thai and Puff from Mango. Union Market was selling bottles of water for 50 cents, which was refreshing to see considering most stands mark up bottles of water to about $2 at these events.
Otherwise it was your standard NYC street fair fare - Mozzarepas - actually, come to think of it, I didn't see the Mozzarepas there today. Okay, but the rest was standard - amidst booths and tables filled with local businesses and organizations, there were the "sushi pillows", tables selling sweat socks and Bruce Ratner trying to win the hearts and minds of Brooklynites with a Nets table (situated closer to South Slope) that handed out Nets tchotchkes and Ratner propaganda - though I did get to meet former Net Albert King who apparently is in many of the Nets Top 10 all-time records.
Walking back up 5th it looked like there was a little Brazilian celebration going on at MeKong Restaurant - which is Vietnamese so that's odd. But hey, who doesn't like to celebrate a World Cup victory?
