Tonight – National Night Out on the Lower East Side

Police precincts throughout the Lower East Side will be celebrating National Night Out this afternoon and evening. If you would like to take part in the community-building events, here’s the scoop on what’s happening when and where.  The 7th Precinct is offering food, rides for the kids and a petting zoo on Pitt Street (between Rivington and Stanton) between 4-9 p.m.; and we understand City Council Christine Quinn, a mayoral candidate, will be stopping by to do some politicking.  And the 5th Precinct’s National Night Out event will be held in Columbus Park from 4-8 p.m.
