Something about Red Hook feels like a small east coast port town and I’m addicted to it
Elite rec is asking Foodtown to shuck oysters for you and sitting along the water to eat them
Casual, charming as hell waterfront seafood restaurant/bar in the North End. A beer + fried appetizer combo platter or a lobster roll + sun setting over the harbor? Wicked cute.
sustainable seafood place in DUMBO! their seafood offerings rotate as they chose sustainable options per season, they have great drinks, and the outdoor seating is cute, with lots of shade. afterwards, walk to Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory and enjoy it at Brooklyn Bridge Park / Pier 1 :)

The best place on Earth. Drive the Old King's Highway from the bridge to Orleans. Drink a scorpion bowl at Double Dragon, the only Chinese place with a waterfront deck. Stare at the Atlantic until you lose yourself. Drink $3 pints at the Quarterdeck, start a fight, get kicked out, and walk to the 19th Hole. Watch the college kids play baseball under the lights in the summertime. Bike among the old homes and imagine the colonial 1750's. Catch a sunfish and throw it back in.
I can’t tell you how many people I’ve come to recognize from them walking past the window of where I work every day. Some of them I have a rapport with. Some wave. Some don’t even know they’re in my life. Sometimes I see them in other places in the city. It’s kind of sweet, it makes the city feel small
