THE LEDE: Good morning! One group angles to plant Brooklyn and NYC’s next big park in a rather unexpected location. One month after the passage of theFreelance Isn’t Free Act, three full-time freelancers offer their tips, and theNYC Ferry links traditional and trendy Brooklyn neighborhoods. Then, we check in on a 100-year-old business that has no desire to become trendy. Why is lacrosse suddenly growing in popularity in Brooklyn? We explain. Finally, New Yorkers respond to anti-Islam rallies by breaking fast in solidarity in Downtown Brooklyn. Plus, check out photos from Brooklyn’s Pride Parade, and head to a “surreal trailer park” in Red Hook. We’ll see you again on Friday!
IMPRINT: The muggy weather had us California dreamin’ this week, and Holiday mag was on the same page.
