Gowanus Yacht Club: Outdoor seating at Carroll Gardens’ kitschy beach bum beer garden was born again on Thursday night; Eater is rightfully ecstatic, and has some photos, which show the place looking pretty much the same as ever.

(A vegan 'Not-Dog' is also available.) 323 Smith St., (718) 246-1321. more ›
