A Brooklyn Life

Oh Sunday Best how I love you, with your fabulous DJs, imported food carts from the Red Hook Ballfields and lazed relaxing under the trees with other likeminded Brooklynites. For those of you who haven’t been, Sunday Best is at The Yard (just before you cross the Gowanus Canal on Carroll Street). It starts on May 24 and runs through September 6, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. It’s all ages, with enough dancing kids to keep things cute. Pony up $10 without an rsvp, $8 with (rsvp@sundaynestnyc.com) or before 4 p.m.
