The Summer Friday Guide - New York - The Infatuation

"Union Square is convenient for just about everyone, so it’s a great spot to meet friends when you all work in different neighborhoods. But outdoor options are very limited, and nobody is interested in standing at sideBAR or Brother Jimmys after spending the last 20 minutes on the subway. Go to Revival. It may look like a lot of other slightly divey bars off Union Square, but it actually has a very nice and kind-of-secret back patio. Push a couple of the small tables together, and take advantage of the good Happy Hour deals until 8pm." - matt tervooren
