Boulder, Then Blue Hour
- 4:00 PM Day passes at Brooklyn Boulders Queensbridge — no experience needed — rent shoes there
- 6:00 PM Walk 10 minutes to Gantry Plaza State Park for sunset
- 7:00 PM Pool, wings, and pitchers at Break Bar in Astoria — short train or cab
Why it lands: Sweating together early kills small-talk awkwardness; the sunset bench is the payoff.
Weather backup: Skip Gantry and go straight from climbing to Break Bar — fully indoors.
