A cold pint and live music! What could be better on a breezy September day! They have great German Sausages and finger foods to choose from. Just make sure to get a seat or you will be standing for quite a while.

5)    Flushing Meadow Park

Great Lakes Ct (Dwight Eisenhower Promenade), New York, NY

The original spot that most Queens natives know about! It’s classic and it is wonderful! Good old flushing meadow park has grills, and plenty of space to throw around any ball your own. It is an oldie but goody. The only negative is going to be parking and the amount of litter left behind.

6)    Nowadays

56-06 Cooper Ave (at Wyckoff Ave), Glendale, NY

Another awesome beer garden that we highly recommend checking out!

7)    Astoria Park

at Shore & Ditmars Blvd (19th St), Astoria, NY

Another classic! Most Queens natives have spent at least one holiday here! It is a great place to throw your blanket out and enjoy the day. Watch out for the parking! Once you get in it will be hard to leave!

Hope to see some of you guys out enjoying the day! Have fun!
