Absolutely insane heat has bursted in all of New York, and also in our beloved pigeon town, Bushwick. And one cannot but wonder where, oh where to slip your sweaty self into nice cool water…

I know there are public pools in Williamsburg…  I’ve heard there are awesome dumpster pools in Gowanus (and you should read this awesome, probably the most complete and perfect investigation-wise post on dumpster pools by Oriana from Brooklyn Spaces)…

… but what do we have in Bushwick?

well, in Bushwick, we have open hydrants…. *

* Author of this post is perfectly aware of all the ecological issues attached to this Bushwick habbit of opening of the hydrants, but cannot help herself but finds a hint of local charm in it, a nostalgia over the last year’s summer, and somehow is even reminded of her childhood and cinnamon rolls… *sight*
