Saturday, May 14, I strolled through the Ninth Ave. International Food Fair to and from the Anti-Stadium Rally at McCaffery Park. On the way home, I stopped for a vegetable fritter at an Indonesian stand, and a piece of spinach pie at Uncle Nick's booth. The 48th St. Community Garden had a little table, so I paused for some information. The delightful man with the British accent told me how to obtain a key, and suggested I go over right then, "it's a beautiful day, after all." So I did. I'll go back on the first Saturday of the month to gain resident access status. Yay!

Sunday, May 15, I once again found myself at a street fair - this one stretched between 77th and 90th Streets on Amsterdam Ave. On our way down to the northernmost entrance, we happened upon a school fundraiser with a "County Fair" theme, complete with home-baked goodies, games and barnyard animals. It made me pine for the odiferant Fairfield County Fair. I soothed myself with praline spread on brioche at Le Pain Quotidian. Very Ohio.
