Nā loko i loko o Williamsburg
Uaʻikeʻiaʻo Williamsburg a me Greenpoint no ko lākou mau haleʻaina, nā hale kūʻai, nā wahiʻaina a me nā hale kiʻi. ʻO Avenue Bedford, kahi huakaʻi ma ke alanuiʻo Williamsburg, aʻo Greenpoint ka wahi kiʻekiʻe o Manhattan Avenue. Eia naʻe, inā eʻimi anaʻoe e paipai i kāu huakaʻi i Brooklyn me kahiʻauʻau, eia nā manawa kūikawā kūikawā a me nā kauwela ma Williamsburg a me Greenpoint. Mai ka loko kai loko i loko o kahi loko iʻa i loko o ka loko iʻaʻo McCarren Park, he nui nā wahi e holo ai i Williamsburg.
Makemakeʻoe e hele i ke kahakai aiʻole nā loko ma Brooklyn? Eia kaʻeleʻele i ka wā e hāmama ai nā kahakai a me nā loko iʻa ākea no ka manawa.
Inā makemakeʻoe e hele a puniʻo Brooklyn, e hoʻopuni a puni i nā loko, e nānā i kēia mau loko i Brooklyn . A iʻole hiki iāʻoe ke koho i nā loko o Williamsburg a me Greenpoint. Ināʻoe e hele ana i kahi wai waho, mai hoʻopoina i kāu papaluʻu! Eʻoliʻoli a hauʻoli i kahi lā ma ka waiʻauʻau.
ʻO ka Pool Pool
ʻO kēia kahua hoʻokipa ma waho o Bedford Avenue e hoʻolaha i loko o ka loko i loko no ka hoʻolimalima a pāʻani paha. ʻO kahi kai kōpana nui he hui nui loa no nā poʻe noho o Williamsburg e makemake nei eʻauʻau no ke kaʻa. He maʻemaʻe ka loko a me nā lumi locker, akā hiki ke maʻalahi keʻike i kahi manawaʻaʻole i hoʻokomoʻia nā ala. Loaʻa lākou i ka huhū i nā hebedoma pule. Hele i ka lā aiʻole i ke kakahiaka kakahiaka. Hanaʻia nā alanui i ka wikiwiki: wikiwiki, ala, aiʻole lohi. E like me nā loko kūikawā a pau o ka NYC, eʻike pono e lawe mai i kahi pāpale kai,ʻo ia ka mea e pono ai, a me kāu mau loka laka e palekana i kāu mau mea.
He manaʻo maikaʻiʻo Flip-flops. No nāʻoihana koʻikoʻiʻoi aku, makemakeʻoe e komo i kahi lumi hoʻomaha me nā meaʻoi aku. ʻO ke kaha kiʻi i kēia pokapū hoʻokipaʻo NYC,ʻo ia ka wai puna.
Ka Papa Olaʻo McCarren
E kiʻi i kahi kula kahiko a hele i kēia loko iʻa kaiāulu, (heʻole!) I weheʻia i ka makahiki 2012. Ua weheʻia kēia loko iʻa ākea i nā malama kauwela.
E nānā i ka pūnaewele no ka papa inoa o nā lula a me nā hola. ʻO ka loko wai kahi mahele o ka moʻoleloʻo Brooklyn. "ʻO McCarren Pool kahi oʻumikūmāiwa mau wai i weheʻia e Robert Moses i ka makahiki 1936. Ua paniʻia ka loko i ka makahiki 1984 a ua nohoʻoleʻia a hiki i ke kauwela o ka makahiki 2005, i ka wā i weheʻia ai ka wai wai punahele he wahi kaulana no nā'ahamele, nā hula, a me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni." E nānā i ka hale holoi hou a me ke kīʻaha i ka wā e komo aiʻoe i kahi hale. Mai poina e lawe i kahi laka e hoʻopaʻa i kāu waiwai i loko o kā lākou loka.
Ka Hotel McCarren a me ka Pool
Inā eʻimi anaʻoe i kahi waiʻauʻau, e ukuʻoe no kekahi lā aiʻole ahiahi i ka Moanaʻo McCarren i ka McCarren Hotel a me ka Pool i Williamsburg. Hiki iāʻoe ke kūʻai i nā hele ma mua a ma ka puka. Hāʻawi pū lākou i kahi hui pāʻina, ināʻoe e hoʻolālā ana i ka laweʻana mai i nā hoaaloha. A ināʻaʻoleʻoe e makemake e hoʻoholo i ke kālā, hiki iāʻoe ke hele i ka loko iʻa o Williamsburg. Ma ke ala, e hōʻoluʻoluʻoe i ka wai aʻoliʻoli i kahi lā ma ka waiʻauʻau.
ʻO ka William Vale
ʻO ka Vale Pool, kahi loko iʻa ma William Vale i ka puʻu o Williamsburg i ka punawai hoʻomaha loa loa ma New York City. ʻO ka 60 kapuaʻi wāwae kahi kahi nui eʻauʻau ai. Ināʻaʻoleʻoe e makemake e lawe i ke kuʻi, hiki iāʻoe ke holo i nā kukui a me ka lewa e hoʻolohe ana i nā kani mai ka DJ.
Ma waho aʻe o ka heleʻana mai i nā mahina kauwela ma ka waiʻauʻau, hiki iāʻoe ke nānā aku i Manhattan. E hoʻolālā i kahi poolside inu aʻoliʻoli i ka lā launa a me ka wāwae i kēia wai hou.
ʻO YMCA Greenpoint
Inā he lālāʻoe no ka YMCA, e lawe i kahi kāpili i loko o ka waiʻauʻau ma YMCA Greenpoint a iʻole e kūʻai i kahi pass. E nānā i ka papahana no ka loko ma ko lākou pūnaewele. Ke aʻo nei hoʻiʻo YMCA i nā papaʻauʻa a me nā pono wai. ʻO ka loko o loko ka mea e kaulana i nā kama'āina a aia ma Meserole Avenue.
