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 :)
i also made recs for some places in manhattan here: š½ļø a few random picks!

āµSomething about Red Hook feels like a small east coast port town and Iām addicted to it
Elite rec is asking Foodtown to shuck oysters for you and sitting along the water to eat them

š¦Havenāt been to Portland in years so hopefully this is all still relevant. Itās an incredible food town:
- Duck Fat for fries and milkshakes
- Holy Donut
- Mount Desert Island Ice Cream
- lobster role at that basic place on the water. I forget the name but remember it being very good.
- there was an arcade bar called Arcadia that was pretty fun, not sure if still there

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERāS DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. š„³
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you donāt have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOās page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereās always more power in a union!! āš„š¹
