"If it’s warm outside and you're compelled to drink beer on a roof in Greenpoint, head over to Greenpoint Beer & Ale Co. This brewery sits at the far northern tip of the neighborhood, and the space has some big communal tables and garage doors that open up when the weather’s nice. They serve a bunch of beers that are brewed in house (from triple IPAs to fruited sour ales), and there are some bar snacks like fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, and a hot chicken sandwich. But the real selling point is the roof. Walk up a set of stairs, and you’ll find a big open-air patio with picnic tables." - neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
