2. Exit and walk down Jay Street to the B61 bus stop in front of the Brooklyn Tabernacle (Jay Street between Livingston and Fulton streets).
3.Take the B61 into Red Hook to Coffey Street.
4. Walk two blocks toward the water and you’ll run into Valentino Pier.
Note: Expect the bus trip to take approximately 25 minutes.

Option 2: The 2/3 or 4/5 trains

1. Take either of these lines to the Borough Hall station.
2. Exit and walk down Court Street approximately four blocks toward Atlantic Avenue. (If you pass Barnes & Noble and the movie theater, you are walking the correct direction.)
3. Catch the B61 bus in front of the Duane Reade on the corner.
4. Follow steps 3 and 4 above.

Option 3: Take the Ikea water taxi

Note: The last ferry to Brooklyn runs at 7:20 p.m. It does not return to Manhattan after the movie.

DIRECTIONS BY CAR/TAXI:
1. Take the BQE to the Atlantic Avenue exit.
2. As you come off the ramp, the road will split. Continue straight, do not curve toward the right.

      It’s being shown on the 16th. You can check the schedule, which shows it’s August 16. The 11th is the date the blog post was published. You can see that all of the blog posts have a date.
