Smith St and Bergen St

I was hoping the guillotine
was for the annoying Brooklyn Eagle

Great photos, appreciated!

Are foreign 'special dates' like this frequently celebrated in NYC?

[NYatKNIGHT]

^Yes. When you think about all the nationalities represented here with so many foreign born residents from so many cultures, it makes sense there are as many celebrations as there are.

[KenNYC]

Good to know ;)

Are foreign 'special dates' like this frequently celebrated in NYC?Many are street closings with parades on dates that celebrate independence.

On the first Sunday of June, Madison Ave from 39th to Madison Sq is closed, and a parade is held to commemorate Philippine independence from Spain in 1898.
