"Popina is an Italian/American restaurant in the part of Brooklyn just west of Cobble Hill known as the Columbia Waterfront District, and the backyard here is about the size of a public park. That’s a slight exaggeration, but it is very large with a bunch of picnic tables and a bocce court in one corner. If you’re planning a double date, it’s perfect for that. Or if you just want to eat some schnitzel and ham hock pasta and then maybe take a jog around a backyard with one other person, it works for that as well." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
