Brooklyn Bridge Park adds more concessions
As Brooklyn Bridge Park has expanded, so has the concessions. The long awaited opening of Blue Marble has finally happened! I like the other ice cream concessions that are at Brooklyn Bridge Park too: Uncle Louie G’s ice cream and Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory’s, but I have to admit, I’m partial to Blue Marble (especially their raspberry.) You can now also get wine at the wine bar (woo hoo for Papa Tree!), Mexican food, and soon to be sold at Ditch Plains‘ stand- lobster rolls and hot dogs. I love the River Cafe, it’s a fantastic place to bring out of towners to enjoy the spectacular river view or to enjoy a quiet moment in the gardens in front of the restaurant- but definitely not a place to bring MY kids- maybe yours?
