Lavender Lake Kick back with cocktails in Gowanus

Just opened by some retail/runway show designers, LL's cool, spacious outdoor area looks like an open-air retail store/runway show where everyone either gets killed for having sex with each other during Summer camp, or just parties in Adirondack chairs under strands of bulbs, then leaves happy and un-murdered. The similarly rugged menu's loaded with stuff like fried Brussels sprouts, grilled pork loin, and lemon-brined chicken, while 'tails include the Lavender Lake Iced Tea with Earl Grey- & lavender-infused vodka.
