Sometimes in the summer I just jump on a random ferry to enjoy the breeze and then walk around on the other side.
If you grab a ferry to Long Island City, the waterfront there is amazing and there are tons of breweries you can either drink at, or very permissive if you wanna bring cans to the river. Obligatory plug for Little Banchan Shop, one of my obsessions that I come to the neighborhood for. Korean spice is also a perfect addition to the hot days.

I probably have to pop that cherry today for work and I’m deeply sad since I’ve gotten this far with never once using it, which is the way things should be.
