We’re on a light schedule for this long weekend, and we hope you’re taking the day off today to enjoy yourself! If you’re still in town and you’re looking for some inspiration for things to do, here are some ideas:

Head to the beach! It’s not far, not hard to reach 8 of them, even without a car.

• Prefer pools to the ocean? Here’s info on all the outdoor pools in Brooklyn.

• But there’s water even closer to home for kids who like splashing at playgrounds!

• Have a BBQ in Prospect Park (and BYOWater bottle).

• Grab a bite at someplace local you’ve never been to before: Shayna’s, Wheated, Brooklyn Belly, Milk & Honey, Salud, 773 Lounge, Hamilton’s, or one of so many other places.

• Go see a movie: the Kent Theater on CIA currently has both a Groupon and a Living Social deal on tickets.

Got any other ideas? How are you spending the weekend?
