Gowanus Grove
When you think of drinking on a canal you probably think of a having a glass of champagne over looking Venice's Grand Canal. Yes, that would be nice, but this is NY, and the closest thing we have to a canal is the Gowanus. For what they're working with, the people behind Gowanus Grove did a great job transforming this once shabby space into a really cool place to drink. People can lounge out on the grassy banks of the Gowanus while enjoying a totally different kind of bar experience.
