365:27 (depressing new york city)

on their best day, new york city street fairs are a bit seedy and depressing, with their “professional vendors” selling block upon block of socks, knockoff purses and fried food. But if you want to go for truly depressing, set up a giant, 20 block long “festival” and watch as half the vendors don’t even show up because it’s rained for most of the day, leaving vast open swathes of curb between booths, while the few vendors who do show up (of course, only the hardcore professionals, not any of the local artisans), stand huddled under their rain-sagged canopies.
