On a recent Sunday afternoon, we grabbed grub at Lassen & Hennings, a great delicatessen in Brooklyn Heights and headed to Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 1 where we would spend the next seven hours. I remember this area of the Brooklyn waterfront from old movies. It was always used for a sketchy exchange, involving a mobster or cop who needed a location where nobody else would be. Not anymore! This gritty industrial zone is now the beginnings of a park which will eventually span the entire Brooklyn waterfront. Right now, it’s a little too new, a little too manicured. But there’s no better place to catch Manhattan turn from day to night. And of course there’s the Blue Marble ice cream stand!
