It was fun. To be out there on the pier at the festival looking at a superb view of the skyline and the statue of liberty made me think how amazing it would be if more of the waterfront was as developed as the 58th street pier. To see so many people enjoying the shore at the festival made me hope for a day in the near future when the Brooklyn renaissance reaches the waterfront throughout Sunset Park. It's a valuable potential asset. Meanwhile it's a great place to bike...
