From a reader:
In case you missed it, today's (Sunday, June 24th) Bangladeshi Street Fair on McDonald between Church and Avenue C was something to behold. A full-color spectacle featuring around one hundred booths vending native foods, dress, tchatchkas and music, interspersed with a handful of service businesses and a major presence by one local HMO plan. And how about the full-size sound-stage stretched out where the "F" rises near Avenue C? To be sure, this was Bangla-town's finest hour and gave today's annual Smith Street Festival a run for the money.
