The great annual music festival goes online.  A lot of water has passed under the Brooklyn Bridge since this festival started more than 40 years ago; now celebrating Brooklyn doesn't require so much (or any) special pleading.  Details about this year's lineup remain scarce, but readers of this List will be happy to see Junglepussy, The Tallest Man on Earth, and Common (reuniting his August Greene team of Robert Glasper and Karriem Riggins!).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Let's pretend we're out in Prospect Park and refresh ourselves with some Bulldog Highballs:  pour 2 oz. Gin and 3/4 oz. orange juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a Highball glass over ice.  Top with ginger ale.  Stir (gingerly).  Drink with a straw.  (You can garnish it with an orange wedge if you like.)
