NYers help - will be visiting this weekend
 
I have train tickets to the city tonight. I love NY and try to get there a few times a year. What the weather like today and the next two (too short) days? Are there any street fairs going this weekend. I have gone to my regular sites and can't find any info. I read somewhere (I lost the site) that there is an art fair of some type in Lincoln center square this weekend. Is this correct and would it be worth going? I found a posting but read it too fast and now I can't remember where I saw it. We have time to kill before the Sat Yankee game and before a 3:00 Broadway Show - all suggestions appreciated and most welcome!

I don't know what's happening in the city this weekend. I'll be on Long Island and the weather is supposed to be beautiful. Sunny and near 80.

The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend (once this storm clears out later today). 75 and sunny Saturday, partly cloudy and 85 Sunday (although that could be muggy).<BR><BR>The one thing you should watch out for is the Puerto Rican Day parade is Sunday. I say "watch out" only because the traffic will be snarled and the crowds will be extremely large if you want to go across town.<BR><BR>Enjoy your visit.

There is a high end crafts fair at Lincoln center (outdoors) this weekend and next.<BR><BR>For parade and street fair info, check<BR>this "major events" schedule on the NYC website--<BR>http://www.nyc.gov/html/cau/html/major.html<BR><BR>It's a little more straightforward than looking things up on the NYC tourist website (www.nycvisit.com) which is generally pretty good, though...

Thanks for posting the web sites Janie. I live in the area but never knew where to go to get a listing of the street fairs going on around the city.
