Summer Clean Team Another Hit!

Gathering on an ideal summer day were dozens of volunteers to once again unite to clean East 86th Street. While sanitation is always a challenge on one of NYC busiest thoroughfares, it can be noted that as our numbers seem to grow for every event, the actual amount of garbage being picked off the streets continues to decline. Neighbors and passersby were effusive in their thanks to our volunteers that were rewarded with a Shack Burger at the end of the event. Fun was had by all. Thank you to our volunteers and Shake Shack for the eats!
