block parties

Closing down your street so you and your neighbors can kick back and have fun takes some careful planning.

You can see the exhibition on Saturday, while the Bronx Documentary Center hosts their second annual block party.

Last year, the event was cancelled because "the block was overrun with rats." This year will be another washout.

A bystander who took a bullet during a wild block party shootout in Harlem last summer has filed a $7 million lawsuit against the city.
