What Up, Brooklyn! Here Are Your Columbus Day Weekend Street Closures

Parades and festivals abound.

I think we can all agree that Columbus Day is B.S. at this point, right, Brooklyn?

At the same time, we are a borough that never misses a chance to party in the streets, and this three-day weekend promises the same laundry list of street closures that comes with any holiday, no matter how B.S.

Here are the Brooklyn streets to A) flock to with your rosé water bottles or B) avoid like plague, depending on your weekend persuasion.
