She was en route to the Jazz Age Lawn Party, an annual event on Governors Island. Though the theme is everything 1920’s, it is loosely interpreted because none of the attendees was alive then. It was a chance to play dress-up in the summer: short, fringed dresses for the women and rolled-up khakis (?!) and caps for the guys.

If you like boat rides around and between the five boroughs, don’t take the ferry from Pier 6, Brooklyn to Governor’s Island. It takes about five minutes to get from one dock to the other. It’s nice, just over very quickly.

Where Atlantic Avenue begins, by the river, used to be a no-man’s land where the buses turned around. Then the playground and the seasonal Governors Island ferry dock opened. Now it’s almost pedestrian friendly.

I was the last one to leave the ferry from Governors Island to Brooklyn. Somehow 83 degrees felt like 90+, and it looked shiny and monochromatic. The remedy going forward is garish clothing, cold water, and sunscreen.
