This weekend was the first Sunday Streets of 2014. Sunday Streets is an event that launched in Bogota, Colombia as Ciclovia. Essentially, pedestrians and cyclists reclaim the streets for a greener, more family friendly, purpose. With no cars on the road, you are free to meander where you choose. Plus, there are several booths with activities, swag, and food.
Since I started training for a half marathon, I decided to run the 5.5 miles to the beginning of Sunday Streets. We arrived pretty late into the day, which meant that much of the crowd had already cleared out. I don't love huge crowds, so this suited me just fine.

For entertainment, there were awesome bike tricks. This was the best part.
And, of course Master Blaster, my favorite street performer, made an appearance. He's just so charming. Normally simultaneously tap dancing and playing the trumpet, Master Blaster has added singing to his repertoire.
After investigating all the booths, and scoping out the Ferry Building, we hopped on the F Train and headed home.
