Liquid refreshment

Concrete Shoals (Brooklyn Heights)

RESTAURANTS & BARS • First Person

New York City has water, water everywhere, but only a smattering of great places to drink amid its waves. The best of those are actually on the water, not just looking out over it. Concrete Shoals, which opened near Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 5 last fall, is about as far out as you can get without a kayak.
