"Strangeways could easily win a garden design competition show. The Williamsburg spot has a huge covered patio surrounded by hanging plants, towering trees, and potted plants. Plus, this outdoor-only restaurant has two giant fans pushing a cool breeze throughout the patio area. The coolest seats are the picnic tables up front, but there’s also a quieter corner in the back with a bunch of two-top tables that should get some peripheral gusts of wind. In addition to cold air, Strangeways serves an excellent burger with a dry-aged patty covered in a cascading layer of sharp cheddar and topped with lettuce, onion, and special sauce." - nikko duren
