The Resy Guide to Outdoor Dining in New York

We have officially landed in spring and now through the summer and well into fall is prime outdoor dining season in New York. The city has more al fresco dining options to choose from than ever before but, as we all know, the truth is not all outdoor dining setups are created equal.

That’s where we come in. In this newly updated guide, we’ve gathered some of the city’s best outdoor dining settings: the loveliest backyard gardens, the most idyllic of sidewalk tables and patios, and the most breathtaking waterfront views. Right this way.

Hotel Eventi’s Back Bar has a patio perfect for people watching. Sip your Yuzu 75 or your Desert Paloma while you indulge in their burger and a healthy serving of housemade gelato or sorbet. If they have it, the pistachio-orange marmalade is worth the brain freeze 10 times over.
