It’s a bad day to be a fan of the New York Metropolitans and a good day to support the Phillies. But as the Ultimate Schadenfreude concluded on a sunny Sunday afternoon, it turned out to be a great day to be a resident of Brooklyn: The 33rd annual Atlantic Antic street fair proved to be an orgiastic feast of pulled pork, live music, red velvet cupcakes, old-school buses and the unfulfilled promise of once-in-a-year shwarma. And I almost won a bike playing bocce.
