  Block Party NYC is a new program by the New York City Streets Renaissance which is helping neighborhoods around NYC come together and enjoy their street for a day, free from the usual hazards and distractions of automobiles.

They will also talk to residents about what they like and dislike about their street, what they want to preserve, and what needs to change.
