Closing Bell: Break Out The Boat Shoes!
Eater spotted an exciting annual rite of spring getting underway yesterday: The ritualistic airing out of the furniture at the seasonal Carroll Gardens favorite the Gowanus Yacht Club. Who’s excited? GMAP

The appeal is that it’s cheap.
Sigh. All the cool kids are gone off of Smith st.
That is exciting.
Every year the Eater is irrationally exhuberant about a cramped place to drink out of styrofoam. color me bemused.
“On the other hand, it is basically a small dive bar that happens to be outdoors,”
Yeah – there are definitely other bars with better outdoor space and a better selection of beer/liquor. There’s just something about it that makes me happy
oh it’s an actual airing out of the furniture? hahaha. and it’s not an actual yacht club either i see now. but outdoor patios for drinking are always a good thing

We had a ritual “Stepping on the Coat” ceremony to welcome spring,at Binghamton. The ritual coat was kept under lock and key until the proper time and I think is still in use. They only allow one footstep on the coat by the designated High Coat Stepper.
I get that GYC appeals to a certain set, which is cool … and I’ve certainly had some fun times there. On the other hand, it is basically a small dive bar that happens to be outdoors, so hard for me to get too excited about GYC vs. any other bar with a patio/garden.
If one takes the “ritualistic airing out of the furniture” as a broader sign outdoor drinking season is around the corner, then that is indeed exciting.
all that stuff is free for the taking??!
