Now that we’re in the heat of summer (literally), it’s time to take advantage of all your favorite
neighborhood spots that have finally unveiled their outdoor spaces after a long, cold winter.
Many have quaint front patios perfect for people-watching and enjoying the sunshine with
your Instagram-worthy craft cocktail in hand. Others boast fully furnished back patios,
shaded for your skin’s sake during the day, but lit up romantically at night — perfect for that
sultry summer evening date. A few are situated right on the water, offering stellar views of the Manhattan
skyline. Whatever your speed, there’s something for everyone right in your own neighborhood.
