Hey, Weekend!
Fam,
We're so excited to get this weekend on! There's always stuff happening in and around Brooklyn, and we wanted to give you our tips to keep it cool this weekend.
#1
McCarren Park Pool Swimming //
We kinda love how McCarren Pool's kept their kitsch-to-the-point-of-ugly website to celebrate their updo. Flaunt your new bathing gear and remember to keep yourself sunscreened. The grand opening continues this weekend. Don't get scared, the pool's big enough to accomodate 1,500 folks.

WHEN: 11am-3pm and 4pm-7pm
$$: Free!!!!
