"Let’s say your St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Soho is running a little late, and around 11 p.m. you’re thinking, “I really need to eat something.” Soho Backyard is the spot, a modern outdoor bar and restaurant with high-top tables and plenty of open space. It serves food right until midnight, and it’s far more elevated than your usual after-hours fare. Grab a table and enjoy the balmy backyard air as you snack on short rib and caramelized onion flatbread or duck wings with Thai chili sauce. And if the surroundings call for one more nightcap, try the Jameson Mule — an Irish adaptation of the copper mug classic." - Matthew Meltzer
