Get ready for lemonade and cheap and cheerful deals to celebrate summer!” Dunderdon is also among the participating shops.

••• From the Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center: “The state DOT plans to temporarily reduce West Street traffic lanes for one week starting Saturday, July 7th at 1 a.m., between Vesey and West Thames Streets. Double-lane closures will be in effect in both directions, followed by single-lane closures. Lanes also will be closed between Vesey and Chambers Street on the same days, with shorter hours. In addition, SDOT crews continue to close one lane of both north- and southbound Battery Park Underpass on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for renovation work.”

One more note on the Greenmarket – there is also a textile recycling station next to the compost station for a wide range of textiles (clothes, towels, etc). Newer items will find a new home and tattered donations will be recycled.
