Nyack, May 18 — If you add up all of the weekend numbers, Nyack should set another 35,000 or so seats at the table this weekend with a Saturday afternoon parade, a Sunday world class bike event and the second Street Fair of 2013.

And call it just that, coffee, not grande or pocachino or whatever moniker is offered at $2.50.
