With the weather warming up (soon!) and the extra daylight lifting our spirits, it’s only a matter of time before everyone’s clamoring for a seat outside! There’s nothing better than al fresco dining, and we’re lucky to have a some solid options for fun and food in the sun.

Beer and pizza … outdoors! Get over to Lawrence Street, where Downtown Brooklyn’s favorite brewery sets up outdoor seating in the warmer months. Perfect for midday lunch, after-work drinks, or Sunday brunch, Circa is perfect any day of the week, and even better in the fresh downtown air.

209 Joralemon Street
Whether enjoying coffee or a meal, take a seat at one of our bistro tables or on the grand steps of Borough Hall for a spot in the middle of it all. Indulge in some people-watching, relax to the sound of the fountain, or peruse the produce at the farmer’s market just steps away.
