Grand Banks

Bar Primi
4 out of 5 stars
Restaurants
Italian
East Village
price 2 of 4
This corner spot’s been prime for people watching since it first opened in 2014. Like many of its peers, it’s expanded its sidewalk seating into the street as of late, so now there’s a little more room to dine on antipasti, chicken, steak and fish mains and ten types of pasta.

Tacoway Beach
Attractions
Rockaways
price 1 of 4
This summer-only beach staple is as sweet as all the season’s songs, and just as fleeting. For days when you don’t feel like packing up a cooler full of what will inevitably become real-deal sandwiches, Tacoway’s there for a slightly more formal dining experience, replete with fish tacos, guac, and booze that didn’t recently see the inside of a water bottle.

Cafe at Wave Hill
Attractions
Parks and gardens
The Bronx
price 1 of 4
This city-owned garden in the Bronx retains the same horticultural traditions as when it was a private estate. You’ll find an elegant 19th-century mansion surrounded by meticulously groomed gardens, featuring abundant wildflowers and shady pergolas. The area also offers sweeping views of the river and the New Jersey Palisades.

Sunday in Brooklyn
Restaurants
American
Williamsburg
price 3 of 4
Although a one-day-a-week restaurant would be an interesting endeavor, Sunday in Brooklyn is open for brunch and dinner all seven. The rustic three-story space boasts an outdoor patio, to-go window, private dining room and rooftop garden, perfect for warm weather dining.

Pheasant
Restaurants
American
Williamsburg
Sit back in Pheasant's backyard and get to work on its Mediterranean bites. Start with the house focaccia and marinated olives before you move onto larger plates like the roasted Long Island tilefish or bone-in pork chop. Cocktails like the “I Love You Honey but I Hate Your Friends” let vodka, dry curaçao, hot honey and lemon send a date-night message when you don’t want to.

Dagon
Restaurants
Upper West Side
This Upper West Side sparkler is equally suitable for brunch, dinner, or just drinks that can turn into whatever. It has a large, arrtactive bar inside, menu items inspired by “somewhere in the Mediterranean" and covered sidewalk and street seats outside.

Roberta's
Restaurants
Pizza
East Williamsburg
price 1 of 4
Although it’s grown to other locations since first opening in 2008, our favorite Roberta’s is still the string-light lit, industrial block original. The ever-hip love letter to market cuisine and artisanal pizza still grows some of its ingredients on-site, a balm to the hyper-locavores who shed a tear seeing the pies in their grocery store’s frozen aisle.

Broken Shaker
4 out of 5 stars
Bars
Cocktail bars
Kips Bay
price 3 of 4
Whether you’re hot off Metro North after a weekend of antiquing, or you've just found yourself at the nexus of Gramercy and Murray Hill after work, Broken Shaker is your no-fail go-to for a good time. Located in the Freehand Hotel, the New York iteration is almost as beachy as the Miami original. Enjoy the Manhattan breeze on its rooftop terrace.

Gallow Green
Bars
Cocktail bars
Chelsea
price 3 of 4
Another reopened beauty, Gallow Green accepts reservations for its picturesque floral rooftop. Dine under vines and over oysters, salads and mains like grilled organic salmon, along with cocktails like the Sleep No More, with pea flower-infused vodka, elderflower and rosé cider.

Pilot
Bars
Cocktail bars
Brooklyn Heights
price 2 of 4
Boats are inherently romantic, and Pilot is especially so. The 147-foot wooden schooner was built in 1924, and today it’s beautifully appointed in lacquered seaside hues. It does, of course, bear a striking resemblance to sister vessel Grand Banks, but Pilot has a west-facing view of glittering lower Manhattan to accompany the oysters, caviar, lobster rolls and cocktails on the menu.

June
Bars
Wine bars
Carroll Gardens
price 1 of 4
Inside, June is a curious combination of cramped and comfortable. A line of booths on the left are spacious enough, but there isn’t a ton of room to maneuver between them and the long bar to the right, especially when that bar’s a few people deep. That makes its backyard even more of a breath of fresh air. It’s still a little small out there, only accommodating a couple dozen, but lights twinkle over glasses of wine and plates of pork terrine, anchovies and whipped ricotta, and the sky is literally the limit.

Palma
Restaurants
Italian
West Village
price 2 of 4
What appears to be a slip of a space on a slip of a street in a picturesque neighborhood tumbles out into a lovely garden secluded from the bustling West Village beyond. String lights, leafy vines and floral accents give the 20-year-old Italian restaurant a fairytale-in-the-city quality.
