Look very closely and you’ll notice that there’s no longer a picnic table at the green patch at the base of the Lowe’s sign. That means we’ll have to nominate another unfortunate al fresco dining area as the worst picnic spot in Brooklyn. A picnic table, put there for dining purposes, is the only requirement of the competition.

Under the umbrellas, in the side yard of the bagel store, is the Gowanus Yacht Club, open seasonally. Membership happens when you walk through the entrance, and in case you’re not familiar with Brooklyn, there are no yachts, and the Gowanus is an filthy industrial canal that has just been superfunded. Continue the irony – order and enjoy a cold PBR and a hot dog.
