    What’s the Christian holiday on Wednesday & since when does Brooklyn celebrate Asian holidays that it would effect Parking is there an explanation 4 this ?

      The Christian holiday is Ash Wednesday.

      New York City – Brooklyn included – has quite a lot of Asians, notably Chinese and Vietnamese: drive or walk down Canal Street sometime, and you’ll notice. Since the city suspends parking for our holidays (and rightly so – we can’t move our cars on them), it is only fair that they do this for other religions’ holidays as well.
