This Sunday: Brooklyn Book Festival

This Sunday, after grabbing some brunch on Park Slope's Fifth Avenue, you might want to head downtown to Borough Hall (209 Joralemon Street) for the Brooklyn Book Festival. Book sales, author panels, discussions and poetry readings will be part of the big festivities. Oh, and Park Slope's own Pete Hamill will receive the "Bobi" award for his excellent fictional writing about Brooklyn (see the video above).

Check out the full list of activities (which actually take place in multiple downtown locations) here. You can also attend associated "Bookend" events throughout the week! [Schedule]
