Red Hook Exploration

Met up with Tiffany to get lunch at 86th Street and then went to Red Hook to see all the stuff that's there. Everything is so small-scale and quiet and not that many people walk around there, it's like a quaint little neighborhood. Went to Fairway Market and Pier 44 Waterfront Garden to see the view of the Statue of Liberty. Then went to Valentino Park and chilled there for quite a bit under the nice warm sun. And then we fulfilled our ice cream cravings by getting Van Leeuwen ice cream in Downtown Brooklyn. So delicious!! Afterwards, we went to Bldg 92 where it talked about Brooklyn Navy Yard's history but I didn't find it all that interesting. For dinner, instead of eating at a restaurant, we got Vanessa's from Chinatown and brought it to Brooklyn Bridge Park to eat it. Enjoyed the nice weather and people watched couples and kids play in the park. Then it started raining and we took cover in the car and waited it out, and then went back out to Jane's Carousel to take photos. :) Very well spent last day full of spontaneous plans.


View from Pier 44 Waterfront Garden. Not really a garden just a pathway along the water.


Red Hook blocks by Valentino Park!


Van Leeuwen's ice cream, so delicious!


I think it's my first time seeing Jane's Carousel open. :O


Obligatory Brooklyn Bridge photo.


We are normal people.


But sometimes, not so much...
