How to Spend Your Final Summer Fridays
Kayak the Gowanus Canal: It’s not exactly the most bucolic place to paddle, but when you’ve lived in this city for as long as we have, you learn to make do. Take advantage of the public launch site made available by the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club, and end your afternoon with “Rivers Edge” cocktails (New Amsterdam gin, lemon, grapefruit bitters) and plates of house-cured Gravlax at nearby Lavender Lake.
