Ditto. At least in Berlin people will even let their neighbors in for parties, which seemed crazy to me as an American. I could never imagine opening my door and letting random folks come in my home.
- sneak 5y agoIn Berlin it's a lot more likely that your neighbor is someone you'd want to party with, too.
- stagger87 5y agoIn suburban America the concept of a block party is relatively common. All neighbors in a cul-de-sac/street get together and eat/drink.
- sneak 5y agoI've lived in several US suburbs and as far as I've seen block parties in suburbs only happen on TV. Suburbs are actively antisocial places. Street festivals and that sort of stuff actually happen in NYC, which is, of course, not a suburb.

- jdavis703 5y agoBut if I understand the party is usually on the street or yards (I could be wrong, I’ve never lived in that type of suburb). People generally don’t open their homes, right?
