The German-American Steuben Parade is held in New York City every third Saturday in September starting at noon, and runs along Fifth Avenue from 64th Street to 86th Street. For over 50 years, the parade has celebrated the German culture with crazy costumes, floats, music, and dance.
âsomeone discovered that cycling water bottles (or bidons) contained a toxic chemical called BPAâ. I donât think anybody needed to âdiscoverâ it.

Many walkers are concerned over reports that damaged polycarbonate clear water bottles might leach bisphenol A (BPA) into the water. Many water bottles are made of other plastics and have always been BPA-free. Polycarbonate bottles generally are clear, not opaque. If your clear plastic water bottle has a 7 inside a triangle on the bottom, it might be polycarbonate, although it could still be BPA-free. Manufacturers of polycarbonate bottles swiftly responded by spring of 2008, producing BPA-free versions.
