Best New York Restaurants for the End of Summer | Eater NY

"If you can’t get to your house on the East End (or if you’re like me and you don’t have a house there), the Yacht Club is a must. The place is transporting – a sprawling 20,000-square-foot, indoor-outdoor destination with sweeping views of the Hudson. Out on the Lido Deck (paging Julie McCoy), you can sip cold Champagne, white Negronis, juleps, and large-format tequila punches with juicy grapefruits and limes. Coming with a crowd? Reserve a breezy cabana, furnished with sofas, loungers, and your own Yeti cooler stocked with booze. For a break from the sun, head to the dining room that feels like a luxury schooner. Dinner could include oysters (such as its own Sailor Babys), steak tartare, and deviled eggs, or more ample plates like skate wing meuniere, tomahawk steak frites, and lobster rolls. It’s the kind of place I dream of being shipwrecked." - Andrea Strong
