The season has finally arrived: Entire New York avenue blocks are beginning to shut down in every part of the city to accommodate street fairs!

While the location and theme at each New York street fair very much influence which booths you’ll find, there are always a few that remind you that you’re in good old Manhattan. When you’ve spent enough weekends at New York street fairs, you start to see a pattern…

MozzArepas are never missing from a street fair, no matter the theme

Corn on the Cob, New York street fair

Corn on the cob can range from the classic, pictured here, to the cheese-and-cumin-coated Mexican version.

Fruit smoothies and cut watermelon at the New York street fair

Cut watermelon is another crowd favorite on a hot day, as is the smoothie and bubble tea stand.

Fresh-squeezed lemonade at New York street fair

And of course, the fresh-squeezed lemonade.

As promised, my coverage of Carnival in Trinidad continues. Below is my “Just Back From” post I penned for Fodor’s Travel that details the Carnival highlights, from whining, liming and feting to everything in between. Also, you can learn what exactly those Trinidadian English terms mean in the Fodor’s post linked here: Just Back From: Carnival in Trinidad I talked a bit about high-energy, have-to-move-your-body, soca music in the post.

A Traditional Turkish Breakfast

To the granola bar-eaters in the subway, the Starbucks scone-chompers on the sidewalks, the gym-baggers with your smoothies… it’s time to take a lesson from the Turks in happy breakfasting.  Breakfast, or Kahvalti, is a big deal in Turkey.

And those are just the essentials. [...]

Kimme was sassy, eccentric and endearing the way only artists can be and her work, [...]
