Greenpoint residents heated up with barbecued shish kebabs and cooled down with homemade fruit smoothies this at the Manhattan Avenue Street Fair, sponsored by the North Brooklyn Development Corporation.
More than 30 vendors comprising local businesses and independent entrepreneurs sold items ranging from orchids to cookware, silver jewelry to colorful refrigerator magnets resembling food.
The fair was held between Bedford and Greenpoint avenues. Near Nassau Avenue, representatives from the New York State Lottery set up a small booth, noting that the winner of the state’s upcoming jackpot could buy more than a set of steak knives and a beach towel.
“Next jackpot is $125 million,” one Lottery employee said.
