Many have dubbed Northeast's annual art crawl "Party-A-Whirl," and for good reason -- it's become arguably the biggest neighborhood-wide party of the year, with craft beer taprooms, restaurants and bars hosting block parties throughout the area, complete with live music, craft beer and food trucks. Here's what to hear, eat and drink at 11 of this year's biggest block parties. (For the best art events and shows, click here.)
