FOOD: Summer in Brooklyn [Bushwick/Greenpoint]

Now that I'm living so much closer to Brooklyn, I'm excited to take advantage of all of the amazing places just across the river.  I've rounded up three places I've never been to but am incredibly excited to try--most with cool outdoor spaces for the perfect summer day.

Forrest Point (Bushwick)
Forrest Point has been on my list for a some time now but I'm thinking that summer might be the optimal time to swing by.  As part of the same family of restaurateurs that brought Boulton & Watt about, Forrest Point has a lot of promise right off the bat.  The menu and cocktails are right on point and the outdoor space is just what I've been looking for.

Northern Territory (Greenpoint)
I haven't really seen a place quite like Northern Territory in the city yet and I'm beyond excited to check this place out.  Again, the food and cocktails look amazing and the view just can't be beat.  The open space and water views are exactly where I envision myself having a cocktail this summer.

Anella (Greenpoint)
For upscale comfort food, I'm coming to Anella.  This looks like a cozy neighborhood spot with a cute outdoor patio.  And I've heard only good things about the food here--this place could be perfect for brunch or dinner with the girls on a warm summer night.
