Today we're feeling the need for some speed and without a car, that's coming in the form of those blue scooters you've seen everywhere - Revel.
Prepare ahead and submit your application and drivers license info to Revel and get the app ready to go. Approval takes 24-48 hours.
Once all these logistics are done, find the scooter nearest you and we're heading on a day trip to Dumbo, Brooklyn.
New to NY? You should know Dumbo is actually an acronym. You'll learn soon we like those here. Dumbo stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It's also one of the nicest read most expensive neighborhoods in the city.
Here we are on a Revel. CUTEEE
The major benefit of Revel is you can park it anywhere. Find a spot on Water Street (we always do directions to West Elm) and head to the intersection of Water and Washington. Here you'll seen one of the most iconic views in New York. A cobblestone lined shot of the Brooklyn Bridge.
This spot is a wanna be influencers go too - its crowded and you'll see people posing all over the place. I opted instead to capture the Sabrett hot dog man - THIS is classic New York.
From here, head to the river where there is lots to see. Check out more iconic spots like Pebble Beach and Jane's Carousel.
Now it's snack time and you need to make an important decision: ice cream or chocolate chip cookies?!
Hot day? Head to Sugar Hill Creamery for some over the top indulgences.
We sampled CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD
Blueberry cheesecake is rich and definitely the boss of desserts. Our signature cream cheese-based ice cream includes layers of graham crackers and blueberry jam. It’s frozen blueberry cheesecake! Now a customer favorite, this flavor has easily become the boss of our dipping case.
and SWEET SOCIALISM (V)
The African island of Madagascar provides us with this single-estate dark chocolate. The result is a decadent, rich sorbet often mistaken for ice cream because of its creamy, milky texture.
OR feeling like you need some ooey gooey chocolate? Then Jacques Torres is your guy. The decision here is simple - take my advice and stick with the classics. One chocolate chip cookie please.
Need more than just a snack, Time Out Market is full of great options like
Mr Taka Ramen
Jacob's Pickles
Fornino
Tiki Chick
From here the rest of this day trip is yours. Head over to Brooklyn Bridge Park for people watching, blanket time and the best views of Manhattan. It's easy to spend a day here - especially in the summer - so pack some sunscreen and make your next stop Dumbo.
