In the Hood: Our Favorite Patios and Rooftops

With the cooling weather and September fast approaching, it’s a great time to eat, drink and party outdoors in the Borderstan area. While we will likely get another heat blast before fall arrives, the next few months are prime time for the neighborhood’s outdoor restaurants, cafes and rooftop establishments.

Here are two stories we ran before the Summer 2011 kicked off.

• Al Fresco Dining in Borderstan (and People Watching, Too)
• Party on Top: Rooftop Bars For the Summer

Enjoy!
