Nyack Street Festival In Black & White

I really should pay more attention to this blog project, but with everything going on in my life,  just very difficult right now to dedicate the effort to it which it is deserving.  First, a note of some sadness. Our Nyack modern day equivalent of the penny candy store has closed its doors.  I was walking down  Broadway this evening and was shocked to see the storefront empty, a for rent sign in the window.  This is one of those wondrous shops that make/made Nyack what it is...sad to think I can no longer take a walk down memory lane, sneaking in to get a taste of "Bit of Honey" or perhaps walking out nibbling on some Goobers or Chocolate Covered Raisenettes.

This last weekend saw another one of Nyack's many summer/fall street festivals, both Main and Broadway closed to cars as various vendors sold their wares.  Just a small sampling of the festival in Black & White...hope you enjoy the pictures.

Lets Help Gypsy Donut Get a Truck!

I happen to like a great donut,  LOVE a incredible cup of coffee...one of the perks of having moved to Nyack is I can get both of these with a visit to the Gypsy Donut shop located on Franklin Street just off of Main!  Seriously, the donuts at David Schloss's place are not your run of the mill mass produced donut you get from those other places that dot every corner of the globe.  These are homemade (on the premise from SCRATCH) donuts that tickle your taste buds, and come in flavors you can only imagine.

This little shop has fast become a community gathering point here in Nyack, and they are  wanting to expand in a new and exciting way, and  are asking for our help.

They want to put Gypsy Donut on the road...literally on the road with a donut and coffee shop on wheels, a truck to be specific.  Being a regular at the shop, and thrilled I can stop in early in the morning seven days a week on my way out for a walk with my camera for a delicious cup of coffee or a latte and a fabulous donut, I feel compelled to give their Kickstarter project a helping hand.  

You can visit their Kickstarter project and get involved here.

Gypsy Donut is here in Nyack today thanks to the support of Kickstarter, so David Schloss and his fine team have a track record of success, so you can rest assured you are backing a small business person with a track record of success.    The goal is too raise $30,000 to purchase and outfit a truck and put it on the road, bringing the joy that is Gypsy Donut's to a whole new audience as they take their show and put it on the road.   They are off to a good start with almost $10,000 pledged, but need our help.  So, if you are reading this how about popping over and making a pledge today, and for those so inclined, sharing this article link, or a link to their Kickstarter project page would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.  Let's together make another dream come true.

Deadline for this project is March 29, 2014 at just after 9 in the morning, so we have just over 11 days to get them to the finish line and see a Gypsy Donut truck on the road just in time for prime biking season!
