"From the outside, Starland Yard appears to be a wall of repurposed shipping containers enclosing a small block of the city. Stepping into its entrance on 40th Street, however, reveals a family-friendly park complete with a rotation of local food trucks and live music, a bar, and a play area for dogs and kids complete with corn hole and giant Jenga. Check the website in advance for the food truck schedule, or rely on the park’s one brick-and-mortar restaurant, Pizzeria Vittoria, for wood-fired-pizza. Also stationary is the Yard Bar, which offers a selection of cocktails and local beers—including some from Two Tides Brewery, which sits adjacent the park. No kids? Head upstairs to the 21-and-over rooftop courtyard to enjoy your local brew with a mid-level view of the neighborhood and live events like music and spoken-word performances." - Ariel Felton, Sam Worley
