everyone hates getting to red hook everyone loves being in red hook the trick is to live close enough to walk, and then you get beautiful views of the statue of liberty, the best bbq in the city, key lime pie, some of the most charming bars, and a slew of other fantastic restaurants. it feels like you're in a beach town or something, but you're fully in brooklyn

RED HOOK SUPREMACY! also a lovely summer bike ride if you’re in walking distance but it’s a longer walk

Steve’s key lime pie is the best! Probably the base of my food pyramid in the summer

i've transcribed our conversation for your reading pleasure. parks: - Rockefeller park - Central Park, but not if you don't like crowds and are looking for a peaceful walk (you can also rent a bike nearby and ride it through the park) - not necessarily a park, but the Highline. used to be a railway, is now a place for gardening and walking. beautiful views, lovely walk. - Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park, river views, great for picnic - Battery Park, very zen place to be, suggest you go at dusk to see the sun set over the city skyline. you can also see the statue of liberty from there brunch: - Gee Whiz Diner, dope pancakes, bomb eggs benedict - Sarabeth's, stunning pancakes - Pick A Bagel, you can get any kind of bagel to go/to stay, absolutely delicious lunch/dinner: - Shake Shack, great burgers, best attraction is the fries, can't go wrong with fast food - Gee Whiz Diner, again, incredible grilled cheeses - Golden Unicorn, stunning Chinese cuisine, godly dumplings - Lombardi's, historic pizza place - Benihana, Japanese food, you get the chef cooking in front of you experience activities: - Museum of Natural History, if you are a fan of archeology/paleontology/or just science in general - South Street Seaport, occasionally there are seafood stands, but otherwise its a nice walk and a historic location - Pier 25, great minigolf, can also play volleyball here - If you like sports, Chelsea Piers, its also right by the Highline so you can kill two birds with one stone - if you have money and want to do some shopping, check out Williamsburg - take the ferry to Ellis Island, it stops at Liberty Island so you can still see the statute of liberty up close but you don't have to get off if you don't want to deal with the crowds. Plus Ellis Island is also pretty cool, you can search up if your relatives came through Ellis Island

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
