This weekend is the time revive a few Brooklyn based classics around great Brooklyn food. After last night’s wonderful Panini, we maintain the awesome food with lunch at the Family Store. Now to the ride itself:

More Brooklyn neighborhoods, more Brooklyn history, more excellent Brooklyn food, as we make our way through a variety of areas, including the centers of three of the original six towns of Brooklyn, and eventually stop by the amazing Mediterranean food store in Bay Ridge known as THE FAMILY STORE to pick up lunch, which we'll eat picnic style in Owl's Head Park overlooking the harbor. Bay Ridge was once known as Yellow Hook - learn why the name was changed on this ride. Please bring plenty of water, a lock, money for the wonderful, but not inexpensive Family Store and an upbeat inquisitive attitude. Time permitting we might pick up a sweet treat at Villabate on the way back to the Park.
