I know there must be countless threads, but most of the are OLD.

What are some of the best bar or restaurant patios in PH and PS?

I know Flatbush Farm has a pretty good patio, but I am looking for something more affordable.....

thanks....

    Bogota has a nice little back patio. Mango and Lemongrass Thai both have backyards.

    Some more: Commonwealth, The Gate, Patio Lounge, Alchemy, Rachel's

    I love the back outdoor space at Mura.. Sushi on 5th Ave. The space is lovely and the chairs are super comfortable.... they actually rock. Don't say it.. I must be really old if I can appreciate the end of a meal, sipping beautiful tea and rocking.

    I also like my own backyard and tend to eat out less during the summer.

    Rachel's... like the food a lot but those picnic benches back there are not comfortable.

    olive vine at lincoln and 7th avenue has a terrific little back patio.

    very affordable also...and delicious. their lentil soup is the best and the hummus is pretty darn good too. all their stuff is.

    oshima sushi on 7th and berkeley has a GORGEOUS garden, as does moim (korean) but both are rather pricey...

    The ones far away from begging bums and dogs tied up to fire hydrants.

    I would stroll around on 5th Avenue between 1st Street and Flatbush Avenue for Restaurants with dinning on the sidewalk and on 7th Avenue for restaurants with "gardens" in the back.

    Miracle Grill on 7th Avenue has a nice patio.

    Flatbush farm is not the best bargain in town. The quality of food and service should be better for the prices.

    LTS - Yeah, that was pretty blatant one, thanks for looking out. Oddly enough :^o their IP address is from upstate on the other side of the Catskills, near Oneonta. Guess PR folks are cheaper up there. :lol:

    Deleting shill post now...

    Last time I was there, it looked like they completely redid the back patio. I'm not 100% sure if they replaced the benches, but it looked like they had.

    Let's not forget Two Boobs, which has a *very* comfortable outdoor section.

    I haven't had a chance to sample a lot of it but I had penne ala vodka the other night which was good and I like the pizza which has more chopped tomatoes on it than tomato sauce. You certainly can't beat the prices, $9 for a pasta and $8 for a margarita pizza big enough for 2

    Bogota, of course, comes to mind. I'm a fan of Alchemy's patio as well.

    I believe either Nana or Long Tan (or both) have beautiful patios.

    There's a couple of surprisingly beautiful ones I've sat in at unlikely places, but I'm drawing a blank as to where they were. I think it was some of the more nondescript sushi or thai places on 5th.

    I'll second Olive Vine's tent as well.

    I wonder if Press 195 did anything to their patio during renovations.

    That's what comes to mind at the top of my head.

    Press 195's new back patio is spacious and comfortable- a good find.

    Also, O'Connor's back patio has been closed for some time now, they're renovating.

    Possibly Kappa Sake House (ex-Sakura) was one?

    Cheryl's Global Soul in PH has a beautiful backyard and their menu is delish. They said it would be open next week.

    Beast- you can eat outside, but in the front. Same with Barrette. Soda Bar has a large space in back- always busy.

    This is second hand but my son keeps telling me I must try Enzo's. he lives around the corner. Anyway.. It is on the list for me (whether or not the backyard is great). Seriously, a number of people have told me that the food is terrific.
