Was thinking about the Bohemian Hall beer garden
And the terrace at Elias Corner
Let's talk gardens and pleasant sidewalks and terraces and rooftops, etc.
Outdoor eating and drinking...

I always liked the garden at Home. Not so much a fan of sidewalk seating--too much noise, car exhaust, etc.Was thinking about the Bohemian Hall beer garden

You need to come back to Bklyn! All the outdoor spots are open. Bacchus, Jolie, Casserta Vecchia and all the other backyards are blooming.

Really Jin? Even on a just-the-right-temperature evening? Someplace beautiful? Flowers and trees and no bugs and pretty lighting?

I love eating outdoors. Up in the third floor deck overlooking the river, or down at ground level, surrounded by the garden. Bugs can be a serious deterrent. But on a sultry summer's eve, with candles flickering all around? Goodness, yes. (Yeah, sorry, it's not New York.)

Other than Italy, where would this be?Really Jin? Even on a just-the-right-temperature evening? Someplace beautiful? Flowers and trees and no bugs and pretty lighting?
Urban outdoors is like eating in a carlot. If you think a stiff drink or a smoke before dinner dulls the palate, what about auto exhaust?
And in Canada, the mosquitos will bite your lips, tongue, and gums.
In the countryside it's another matter. Black flies. Billions of black flies. On your eyelids.

Citronella candles don't work on Canadian skeeters?
I love dining in my teensy garden on beautiful spring/summer nights. Sometimes there are fireflies.
