The Standard Biergarten
The only thing that holds this place back at all is the line, and even that isn't terrible if you're not in a rush. High Line proximity, tons of space, non-drinking activities like ping pong tables, and a great (and occasionally wild) crowd make the Garten of Bier our #2 pick.
