🌱 First Ferry To Governors Island + Summer Camp 2022

Happy Tuesday, people of Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO! Here's everything going on today in town.

First, today's weather:

Clouds giving way to some sun. High: 42 Low: 18.

Here are the top three stories today in Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO:

1. Brooklyn Bridge Parents caught up with Lincoln Restler Monday morning on the inaugural ferry from Brooklyn to Governors Island. Restler is excited to fight for truly affordable housing with two to three bedrooms, create a neighborhood association in Downtown Brooklyn, revitalize Montague Street, and bring a new elementary school to Downtown Brooklyn. (Brooklyn Bridge Parents)
2. Camp Half Blood, CinemaKidz, Creatively Wild Art Studio–take your pick. BBP just released their comprehensive guide to summer camps in Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, and beyond. (Brooklyn Bridge Parents)
3. A coalition of delivery workers celebrated on Sunday after they gained the right to use bathrooms in the restaurants they deliver from, as well as transparency over how they receive their tips. (The City)

Last week, we told you about our new favorite non-alcoholic go-to — the refreshingly bitter drinks from our partners at Betera. They’re chef-created from natural botanicals, lightly effervescent and worthy of life beyond “Dry January.” We mentioned that their Ginger-Orange was excellent; we’ve since tried Elderflower-Lime and loved it as well — light and floral with the perfect amount of zing. We're converts.

Enough of you took Betera up on their 15% discount on first orders for Patch Daily readers that they’ve extended the offer for another week. Use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — try Betera here.
