The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy is having “Sunset Ohana,” its 14th annual (which seems to go back to when the Park was still a gleam in some local citizens’ eyes) sunset party at Pier 1 on Thursday, June 6 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. This year the theme is Hawaiian.
Our little slice of Hawaii on the Brooklyn waterfront will include authentic Hawaiian steel guitars and classic surf music, tasty island treats, luau lawn games, a tropical specialty cocktail, hula sessions, and much more. Be sure to wear your most colorful shirt!
Among the “tasty island treats” will be “spam sliders with green papaya slaw.” Can’t wait! (I’m not kidding.)
More info here and buy tix here. Come and get lei’d!

The Brooklyn Bridge, seen through the trees.
Looking south along the Esplanade; the skeleton of the shed on Pier 2 is in the background.
This scene is looking north from near the park entrance at the foot of Doughty Street, toward the Manhattan Bridge (we’re looking under the Brooklyn Bridge).
The day closed with another gorgeous Brooklyn Heights sunset, seen from the Promenade.
Rounding a corner of a path, I startled some sparrows. They flew up, then alighted on a fence.
