Every year the City Reliquary organizes a “Tribute to Our City” in honor of the strength and unity New Yorkers demonstrated surrounding the events of September 11th, 2001. We close down a block of Havemeyer Street, have a neighborhood-wide potluck lunch, listen to live local bands play and offer you a chance to meet your neighbors. We need all the grills and chefs we can get together. So, bring out your BBQ equipment, or if you can loan some equipment for the day please contact [email protected]. If you know a band, speaker, or performer who would like to participate, please contact [email protected].
Saturday, September 9th from 12:00 to 6:00 PM on Havemeyer Street between Grand St. & Metropolitan Av.
INCLUDING
Appearances by Manhattan Borough Historian Mike Miscione, Brooklyn Poet Laureat Ken Siegelman, live bands, Brooklyn street games, FDNY Fire Safety Education, free food all day, and much more in the works.
