The 8 Best Things to Eat in Brooklyn This Summer

Watermelon is the quintessential summer fruit: It’s sweet and hydrating and can’t, as a food, really be improved upon. Sure, it gets tossed into salads with tomatoes and feta cheese sometimes, but that’s kind of gilding the lily, you know? So break out of the old watermelon rut, and drink it instead. The watermelon aqua fresca at Xixa is luridly pink but subtly sweet, and it’s without question one of the most refreshing things you’ll enjoy the whole season. Added bonus: Your hands won’t get too sticky.
