nymag.com did a great round up of some great places all over the city where you can grab a table and enjoy some wonderful beers in great company.
If the exchange rate is killing your plans for a European beer run this summer, visit a picnic table near you. We’ve surveyed some of the city’s prominent beer gardens — from the Czech granddaddy in Astoria to a newcomer in Brooklyn — to see who hoists the most authentic stein. And while none of these places are quite Prague or Berlin, if you spend enough time outdoors, you might just forget where you are.
