"You want a fun outdoor bar with enough space for a big group, but you don’t want the less-punctual members of the group to have to stand in line for 90 minutes while the rest of you are already inside. Make a reservation (they’re required) at Rooftop Reds, a rooftop bar in the Brooklyn Navy Yard with its own wines, hammocks overlooking Manhattan, games like cornhole, and a BYO food policy." - matt tervooren
