They came, they strolled, they had a blast! Thousands of people flocked to Third Avenue this past Friday evening for the first of four consecutive 2023 Summer Stroll on 3rd events in Bay Ridge. There were informational tables and children’s activities set up “on the avenue” along the stretch of vehicle-free blocks from 68th Street to 83rd Street, plus live music being performed outside the avenue’s many restaurants. Strollers enjoy the free information and giveaways at the table set up by Premier Sponsor Maimonides Health.

The fun continues this Friday evening, July 28, from 83rd Street to Marine Avenue. On Aug. 4, the Stroll returns to the northern end of the avenue, and the final event of the season takes place Aug. 11 on the southern end. Summer S

As owner, Prince kept the business open seven days a week. He retired in 2009 and later volunteered at the Coney Island History Project exhibit center. He died in 2021 at age 89.
