"Bell Book & Candle’s green space bonafides start, but don’t end, with its rooftop aeroponic garden. Food doesn’t get much more local than sourced from directly upstairs, or much more sustainable than grown aeroponically. With the remaining ingredients in its menu sourced responsibly, the charming West Village spot is a great place to enjoy oysters on the half shell whose farming promotes the cleanup of local waters. The cocktail aptly named Up on the Roof incorporates tomatoes and basil grown in the rooftop garden, plus BOMBAY SAPPHIRE and lemon juice for just enough nuance and brightness to create an infinitely sippable summer sour." - Brendan McGinley
