Toast to Phase Two

Summer is a magical time in the city. It's unbearably hot, classically chaotic, and unimaginably fun. A New York summer is filled with bars and restaurants. Whether it's Pete Wells’ 3-stars or a neighborhood dive, these establishments are the places we vacation until 3:59am.

On Tuesday, June 9th New York kicked off Phase One of a four-phase reopening process. We were the last major city in the US to do so, but if we stay the course, Phase Two should start Monday, June 22nd. This next chapter is particularly exciting because it brings the promise of outdoor dining! What this will look like exactly is still unclear, but we're all chomping at the bit for an IRL happy hour and a sidewalk dinner.

To support local businesses and reminisce on the good ol' times, we created an interactive map of rooftop and patio bars around New York City. This list is far from comprehensive, but these are a few quintessential spots that have brought our team joy. Some of them are offering food and drinks to-go, others are raising money to support their staff, and all of them have incredible outdoor spaces.

Click around the map at the top of the page to learn more about the status of each location or place an order online. We recommend following them on social media to be the first to know about grand re-openings!

Summer 2020 may look a little different this year, but it ain't over yet! Cheers!

Big thanks to Dave Hill for bringing NYC to life.
