Great view of Manhattan. Comfortable in-and-outdoor space. Quality food, and a large selection of beverages. Walking distance to East River State Park. What's not to like?
A large selection of German beer, a close walk to Ft. Greene Park (date tip: picnic), and plenty of Europeans to discuss the finer points of the Bundesliga and Goethe with.
It sure is a trip out there, but this classic is worth is every which way. They don't sell alcohol but offer a wonderful and refreshing pineapple mint juice.
Governor's Island is our favorite place in NYC. Don't tell too many friends about it please, but join us for a ferry ride, some beach volleyball, BBQ, beer, and some of the best views of Manhattan.
Radegast is technically not outdoors, but about 80% of the roof opens up so an actual breeze can be felt, and a nice outdoors style sunburn could be obtained. Great beer and German sausage selection.
Technically not outdoors, but it allows for a lovely outdoorsy feeling by way of the garage-style building-wide opening walls. A view of McCarren park and lots of beer options also don't hurt.
