Rodeo

"The hottest place to sweat this summer is the outdoor sidewalk seating at Rodeo, where you can submit to the heat with a glass of chilled red, and onion dip topped with trout roe. But if the outdoor seating at this Crown Heights bar is packed, head inside, where there's a few big tables for groups, daily cocktails (recently a mezcal paper plane), and floor-to-ceiling windows that let every ounce of daylight in. We’ve heard rumors they’ll be opening a dance floor next door soon, which means you can wear your most impractical shoes, and stay out the whole night without ever leaving the same block on President Street.

"If pairing earthy reds with a mortadella, sharp cheddar, and a mustard toastie or anchovies is up your alley, you should know about Rodeo. The natural wine and cocktail bar in Crown Heights will host pop-ups through the summer, and looks like an ideal spot to lean back in a metal chair out on the sidewalk and drink a chilled glass of wine. Everyone has one of those places, right? Not just us?" - will hartman
