"The rooftops of Williamsburg are plentiful and overcrowded. A few of them have impressive views and great cocktails, but if you’re looking for a place where you don’t have to make a reservation or pay $20 for your margarita, head up the street to Greenpoint Beer & Ale. This brewery has big garage doors that swing open in the summertime, and if you walk up a flight of stairs, you’ll find a rooftop with picnic tables and a purely decorative stained glass water tower. Bring a few friends, get a burger or a fried chicken sandwich from the bar downstairs, and enjoy an Alsatian pilsner that was brewed on site." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang
