Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll

Each summer, thousands head to University City for the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll. Local businesses along the street offer samples of their food and drinks, each costing only $1. Some of the local vendors include Little Baby’s Ice Cream offering mini scoops, Dock Street Brewery’s mini pints, and Zipcar selling reusable grocery bags. Dollar deals are also featured at retail shops such as Baltimore Avenue Pet Shop and Firehouse Bicycles, which offer pint glasses and inner tubes. Food trucks such as Sweet Box and the Tot Cart will also be on site offering dollar deals. Live music, face painting, balloon art and more will be at the 46th Street Triangle. This year’s first scheduled date in June was canceled, making this the only Dollar Stroll of the summer. The event runs on Baltimore Avenue between 43rd and 51st streets on Thursday, Sept. 12, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. For more information and the full line up of vendors and their locations, visit www.universitycity.org.
