"This seasonal outdoor Upper West Side bar has tons of umbrella-covered tables and open space right on the Hudson River at the south end of Riverside Park. It’s a good spot to meet someone for a summery cocktail or a bottle of wine in the $30 range. Plus, there’s no table service, which makes the whole place feel even more casual. You’ll be notified by a buzzer when your order is ready at the counter." - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman
