"Before we go any further, here's the bottom line: Whoopsie Daisy, a Crown Heights wine bar, has an excellent backyard. It's the sort of place that'll come to mind every time you want to drink wine outside in the summer, and also at least once in November, when the return of winter hibernation becomes all too real. As expected from the team behind Fiasco, a wine store across the street, you'll find funky wines by the glass and bottle here, but also beer, vermouth, and pre-batched cocktails, any of which you can make a two-sipper for $8. (In other words, a teeny martini could be in your future.) Bring a group, grab a big table, a few bottles, and conservas, and end the evening with milk and cookies from L'imprimerie. Keep an eye on their Instagram for pop-ups and events. photo credit: Matt Taylor-Gross" - Willa Moore
