More than 1,500 turn up at annual Block Party

The 11th annual Battery Park City Block Party made quite a splash, attracting upwards of 1,500 people throughout the late morning and afternoon on Sat., Sept. 22 to Esplanade Plaza, near the North Cove Marina. There was dancing, kids’ rides and games, a flea market, a pet parade and cooking demonstrations — among other family festivities.
