Amusements for the young and the young-at-heart %u2013 plus vendor stalls brimming with retail delights %u2013 helped revelers bid summer a fond farewell during the St. Rosalia Festivel in Bensonhurst.
The extravaganza transformed 18th Avenue, between 67th Street and Bay Ridge Parkway into a bustling boulevard of outdoor fun as mom, dad and the kids joined festive forces with like-minded frolickers for the annual crowd-pleaser.
Among the cornucopia of crowd pleasers were carnival-style games and hearty fare, served with a generous dollop of neighborliness %u2013 Brooklyn-style.
