Sometimes a meal fails, but the experience is still worth the price of admission. A recent Living Social<\/a> deal offered a brunch boat tour for $40. \u00c2\u00a0I was lucky to make the trip with Nick and Becca, not only for their fine company, but because Nick drove us in Becca’s car to the dock down in the Southern tip of Brooklyn. \u00c2\u00a0The final couple of miles took us along a bay–the smell of the sea filling the car. Worried that the boat might leave without us, we arrived with time to survey the water from the dock. \u00c2\u00a0Swans and a variety of\u00c2\u00a0seagulls\u00c2\u00a0(I learned there is more than one kind)\u00c2\u00a0meandered above and on the water until it was time to board. As we sat at a table with a panoramic view of the shore the crew began to pass out mimosas. \u00c2\u00a0Horribly sweet mimosas. Possibly made with Sunny-D rather than real OJ. \u00c2\u00a0But\u00c2\u00a0respectably strong. \u00c2\u00a0They tasted great with the view, the sun, and fresh air.<\/p>\n
