Woodside Avenue shuts to traffic from 65th Street down to Roosevelt Avenue for the borough's big Saturday street festival, and it sits right on the 7 line while US Open finals crowds stream toward Flushing Meadows. The surrounding blocks are the heart of Little Manila, so the eating around the fair is as good as anything on it. Go early, graze the vendor rows, then ride the 7 out to the finals-weekend scene.
What to expect
A neighborhood avenue fair: food stalls, crafts, and bargain vendor tables filling several car-free blocks of Woodside Avenue. The crowd is local and family-heavy, and the Filipino restaurants and bakeries of Little Manila are steps away on the surrounding blocks.
