Call it the anti-street fair. While most local street fairs feature the same old souvlakis and socks, this Sunday is different. A bunch of community organizatio9ns are putting on a fair on Amsterdam Avenue from 106th to 110th street where restaurants will put out outdoor seating, health groups will offer free screenings, and kids can do art projects, hang out around fire trucks and learn to make bread. The fair starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. You can also recycle electronic waste from 10 to 4.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.
