Brooklynites without backyards can still savor an outdoor barbecue on sultry summer days and feel at home. Here are some of our favorite places to eat outdoors:

Aurora

The patio of this charming Italian spot is perfect for a brunch or a dinner.

The French toast is the stuff of a breakfast lover’s dreams.

Frankies 457

The food is the star here, from creatively stuffed ravioli to the best meatballs in the borough.
