  10. See Brokelandia episode 2 and get knocked up at Hank’s Saloon (Sun)

  13. Have a picnic with a view in Brooklyn Bridge Park and ride Jane’s Carousel then drink in the park without a brown paper bag at Brooklyn Bridge Wine Bar
  14. Bare if you dare at the beach
  15. Check out the Coney Island History Project and Luna Park’s expanded Scream Zone
  16. Grab some friends, a cooler filled with Ameri-Cans and a bag of charcoal and spend the day grilling in the park
  17. Go fishing off one of Brooklyn’s many piers or in Prospect Park (there are huge carp in there!) (More cheap beer suggestions, since fishing is boring without beer)
  18. Stay home and shop online #SALES
  19. Recruit Ice Man and Goose for a beach volleyball tournament at the newly opened courts at Pier 6 (Columbia St. Waterfront nr. Joralemon)
  20. BRUNCH!
  21. See if you agree with us about Fox’s in Midwood
  22. Fuck it Dude, let’s go bowling
  23. Make over a Craigslist furniture find
  24. It’s moving season. Take the opportunity with everyone doing holiday weekend stuff to find your dream pad.
  25. Who are we kidding? Of course there will be day drinking. Here are some outdoor and indoor options.
