summertime

It's been really warm here the past few days, highs in the nineties everyday. Seemed like as good of a time as any to go and see for myself how people were handling it. the first stop was the brand new floating pool (and sandy beach) that had been created under the brooklyn heights promenade.

sandy beach

the food situation at the barge, seems to be limited to hot dogs and ice cream at this point, but according to ny magazine, that may be changing very soon. they wouldn't let me onto the barge without a bracelet, so i set off towards the next destination. stop 2 was the double d pool, on third avenue near the gowanus canal.

easy cool down

lastly, the kids on my street have been running the hydrant for the past couple of days.




21st street.

the only other news is that sidecar had taken down the paper covering the windows and appeared to be open as i drove past today...

sources report that a liquor license is "coming soon," for now it's B.Y.O.
