"Even on the six days this summer when it’s warm and sunny without being so hot you secretly want to sit in front of an air conditioner all day, Rooftop Reds won’t be crowded. That’s because this wine garden/working vineyard at the top of an unmarked Brooklyn Navy Yard building is reservation-only. The space is huge, so once you’re in, you shouldn’t have trouble finding an available hammock or space to play cornhole. Plus, many of the housemade wines are under $40 a bottle, and there’s a BYO food policy - so it’s basically like drinking wine with friends in a park, but not illegal." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
