Summer, Commence!

The NYC public schools got out today at 11:30 so we took advantage of the lack of crowds to hit the Riis Park Beach Bazaar. 

There's something for everyone at Jacob Riis, and on this end of June day there was no humidity, just a sky as blue as my daughter's eyes and a cool breeze betraying the brutal heat that's sure to come. 

Bay 9 at the Riis Park Beach Bazaar features some Brooklyn favorites like Pizza Moto alongside one of Rockaway's best-kept secrets, Cuisine by Claudette. Of course, where does a recent elementary school graduate want to go? 

Ample Hills, of course.

What's a poor girl to do, but to eat dark chocolate ice cream?
