I’m down in Bay Ridge, and the warm weather brings kids lighting fireworks throughout the night too. It makes me feel old, but this city can be really damn noisy.
And Bay Ridge is supposed to be one of the quieter neighborhoods.
If you're near the main drag, Bayridge is full of ambulances, school kids, church bells, people gunning their engines.. it's pretty nuts. But go 2 blocks away and it's chirping birds I think.
