Bay Ridge merchants start making plans for ‘Summer Stroll on 3rd’
The super successful Summer Stroll on 3rd is coming back this year.
The Merchants of Third Avenue, a business organization representing store owners on the Bay Ridge end of the avenue, is joining up with state Sen. Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-southern Brooklyn) and Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) to sponsor the Third Annual Summer Stroll on 3rd event this July and August.
Under Summer Stroll, a section of Third Avenue is turned into a pedestrian mall – no cars allowed – for four Friday nights in July and August to give shoppers the chance to stretch their legs, enjoy live music, hunt for bargains at a leisurely pace and sip cappuccinos in outdoor cafes.
