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.
If you want to take in Nyack by the numbers, consider these digits: 7000, 70, 105, 8000 and 25000. Those are cyclists, countries, miles, feet and estimated Sunday Street-farians.
