This bar also offers a lite food menu. It's located on the 22nd floor of the William Vale Hotel with amazing views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the East River. Relax inside the glass enclosed bar or on the spacious balcony. Downstairs you can lay on the grassy hills of the small Vale Park, also with nice views. The B43 bus from our corner gets you there easy.

A small nature trail near a creek that has been suffering from pollution. I know that doesn't sound good but it's really amazing what has been done to beautify this area. Bring a sandwich and a latte.
