After a busy day of exploring on a New York City tour, it’s best to find a dining spot tucked away on a patio amidst blooming gardens where you can rejuvenate and enjoy a relaxing meal. During the season when overcoats are a distant memory, soak in all the sunshine you can and indulge in sitting under an umbrella with good company and great food. Make sure to include a visit to some of these open-air dining spots and recharge your batteries so you can continue on to the next leg of your New York City tour.
Here’s a list of some of the popular outdoor dining spots in NYC:
Morgan’s BBQ
There’s no missing the smoky aroma of great BBQ, so if you happen to be in Brooklyn and crave some down-home cooking, then hop over to Morgan’s!

If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll want to try the brownie in a cup or the bourbon pecan pie. They offer thirst-quenching beverages from a full-bar and a weekend brunch menu.
