Howe’s ‘Summer Stroll’ on Third Ave. envy of other neighborhoods
Pro Bono Barrister
Thousands of “strollers” from various neighborhoods — including Bensonhurst, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Williamsburg — descended upon Third Avenue in Bay Ridge on Fridays, July 18 and 25, for what has become the city’s most popular “Summer Stroll” event. This version is run under the auspices of the Merchants of Third Avenue, led by attorney Robert Howe.
“Third Avenue’s become known as Brooklyn’s ‘Restaurant Row,’” Howe said, referring to the kudos heaped upon the popular thoroughfare by former Borough President Marty Markowitz. “We have reached out to neighborhoods and parents, their kids and just about everyone else to get out the message that this ‘Summer Stroll’ is a unique opportunity to enjoy an evening on our veritable Venetian piazza.”
The “Stroll” resumes on Third Avenue on Friday nights, Aug. 8 and 15. Make sure to keep checking Facebook.com/SummerStrollon3rd for the latest updates.
