Summers in New York are all about seeking outdoor spots – whether it’s a rooftop where you can take in the skyline or a fun outdoor bar with games, we’re all usually combing through lists on our phones for the places that you can never think of when you’re looking for an outdoor place for libations.
I started this list recently to help myself (and you!) keep a running list of the best spots to try. Each one has a neighborhood next to it as well in case you’re looking for a specific location.
