Please Touch the Art

My darling readers! My apologies for the lack of posts over the last few weeks. Lots of changes on my end — new job, wedding date confirmed, I even got a haircut (love my go-to summer bob!). But let’s talk important stuff: Have you checked out the Please Touch the Art exhibit in Brooklyn Bridge Park?

I’m pretty much obsessed. The best part is that it’s an art exhibit that I get to attend for free almost every morning. It’s on my running path! Appearing Rooms (the walls of water pictured above) is my favorite spot — located right beneath the bridge next to Brooklyn Bridge Garden Bar — but don’t miss Mirror Labyrinth NY, a maze of mirror-polished stainless steel that perfectly reflects the skyline. One more: Sprinkled throughout the park are 16 orangey-red benches, perfect for lounging, soaking up the sunshine, people-watching, and more.

Here’s my recommended itinerary:

1. Go on a Sunday! Start at Smorgasburg — get a ramen burger. 😉

2. Walk toward the Brooklyn Bridge. Just before the basketball and handball courts, you’ll spot the Mirror Labyrinth NY. Take lots of selfies.

3. Keep walking! Pass the pop-up pool. At Pier One, you’ll see it: Appearing Rooms. Study the water patterns, then walk to one of the four quadrants (at your own risk).

4. End the day with a glass of wine at the Garden Bar. #perfectsunday
