AL FRESCO DINING
This summer, restaurants entice diners with decks, gardens, patios and rooftops
Last night, I ate a hotdog on my patio.
My husband grilled it on a tiny hibachi, and I served it with
coleslaw purchased from the supermarket and a green salad. No
offense to any of the chefs who fed me so well this winter, but
it was one of the best meals I’ve had all year. Comment.
GROOVY TUNES
Get ready to put on your dancin’ shoes
as the Brooklyn Philharmonic performs at Celebrate Brooklyn on
July 14. Comment.
FESTIVAL ITALIANO
The annual "Feast
of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Paulinus of Nola"
will return to Williamsburg for the 119th year on Thursday, July
6 at 6 pm. Comment.
TOTO RECALL
There’s no place
like home, especially if home is Brooklyn in the summertime.
The perks include a free outdoor movie series on the bank of
the East River, hosted by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy,
which kicks off on July 6 with "The Wizard of Oz" (pictured
at left) and continues through Aug. 24. Comment.
NY PHILHARMONIC TO PLAY PROSPECT PARK
Most free summer
concerts include music that’s either crowd-pleasing or familiar

VARIETY SHOW
This month, CityParks Theater brings a
provocative mix of productions influenced by hip-hop, prisons
and yes, even Shakespeare, in its line-up of free performances
in Brooklyn’s parks. Comment.
MAGICAL HANDS
July is the perfect time to visit the New
York Puppet Library - a cool, bewitching space that’s actually
located inside the arch in Grand Army Plaza - because Brooklyn
families will be able to enjoy two charming puppet shows there
this month. Comment.
BARGE FULL OF ’DREAMS’
This July, Friday
nights will be rocking at one of the most intimate and interesting
venues in all of Brooklyn. Comment.
