If the giant "YO" (although I like to think of it as "OY") sculpture isn't enough to get you to Dumbo, now there is something else to draw you to this gorgeous park. The Cliffs, who own many indoor rock climbing venues in the tri-state area, have opened up an awesome bouldering park right on the waterfront. For nine dollars you can do all the climbing you want and get geared up by the pros.

Bouldering is not the same as the rock climbing you did at your friend's birthday party as a kid. You are not harnessed, so you can't just let the poor guy belaying you do all the work. Bouldering is a free climbing adventure where you can get a workout of just have fun. The grand opening of this outdoor bouldering park was April 16th. The Cliffs will also be holding events there in the future. and you can take lessons if you want to improve your bouldering skills. The Dumbo Waterfront is a great place to picnic, take a stroll, or get some exercise. It is extremely accessible by just walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, which is an activity in itself. So, go try out your climbing skills at this great new facility, you won't regret it!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
