Outdoor dining, drinking and lounging—all along Dekalb

Restaurants featuring foods from around the world with tables out front or in gardens out back. Coffee bars, cafes and pubs with outdoor seating, too. Shops and boutiques with their doors wide open. Plus something of an ice-cream lovers paradise with chefs competing to ramp up the basic egg/cream/sugar formula. And then, there’s one of Brooklyn’s great parks and everything you need for a picnic available at any of a number of spots along the Avenue. It’s summer on Dekalb Avenue. Enjoy!
