The West 55th Street Block Association on West 55th Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues is sponsoring a Fourth of July Block Party. It runs from noon to 4 p.m.
The party drew more than a hundred people in its inaugural kickoff in 2010, and volunteers closed down the entire street for wading pools for kids and pets, face-painting and games.
Guests are encouraged to bring food to share. Volunteers will also run a set of grills with food.
