We took the subway to the Brooklyn Bridge. The clouds were dark and looking as if they were about to spill any time soon but we decided to start walking the bridge anyways to Brooklyn. The views were spectacular! Unfortunately it started pouring down rain as we were half way to the other side and all we had was the
shelter of the bridge's arcs and a measly umbrella I decided to bring at the last minute. There we were for about 40 minutes and the rain never ceased. Rachael and I decided we were going to bolt for the other side, and got completely soaked in the process. As we were almost to Brooklyn, a car drives by this huge puddle and like Shamu sends a huge splash onto us. Welcome to Brooklyn! We could not stop laughing, the situation was ridiculous. Rachael's feet were blistered up like crazy and I luckily had shielded my camera with the umbrella. Where were we to go in this situation wet as dogs?
(Rachael and I just saw Shamu!)
We decided to hang out in Brooklyn for a bit, having a pizza at the Front Street Pizza Parlor. Just a bit down the street I noticed was the Brazen Head, this pub I heard about that had a great selection of cask ales and plenty of free food. Upon entering there was a huge table filled with bread, crackers, brie / cheddar / garlic cheese, and pretzels. Best bar food presentation ever! 
Rachael went with the UFO Raspberry Wheat beer and I tried both the Stoudt's American Pale Ale and Captain Lawrence Espresso Stout. We were exhausted and hung out there for a while, talking briefly with the bar owner about the photography in the place, then make a long trek back to the nearest subway.The evening was pleasant... I discovered a liquor store down the street, took a long and much needed shower, and hung out with the young men from Australia late into the night (they were drinking Fosters... I had to giggle). We called it an early night.
