I haven't been to every street fair in NYC, but I feel like the annual Atlantic Antic might be the best one. There's probably 6-10 live music stops along the route that runs down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.
The highlight this year for indie rock fans was the stage outside Magnetic Field. Bands like Detachment Kit, the Hong Kong and the Ponys played for free to fans and random passerbys.
After seeing the White Stripes in Coney Island the night before, I arrived just in time on Sunday (September 25, 2005) to catch The Ponys' full set and spend the rest of the day walking around.

Last time I saw the Ponys was right before the Fiery Furnaces at the 2004 Siren Festival. I missed them when they opened for Bloc Party at Bowery Ballroom.

The Pony's we're running on fumes,but did you see this year's opening act Mighty Fine(mightyfineband.com) now that's a party!

Well my kids were running on fumes too, but they say that they enjoyed it, although at the time the two youngest (in the photos above) were much more interested in ponies down the street.
While I've seen some better ponys sets, I thought they were great, even if they still don't play "Get Black."
