The Best Restaurants For Outdoor Dining In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Tatiana is the best restaurant in New York, and reservations are nearly impossible. The good news? Their outdoor dining, on a patio in Lincoln Center, is walk-in-only, making it by far the easiest way to try their lobster escovitch. Yeah, you’ll be missing out on the quasi-nightclub vibes of the dining room. But eating curried goat patties and short rib pastrami suya with a breeze in the sunshine is a reasonable consolation. Reservations are released four weeks in advance at 12pm. If you can't snag one of those, try the six-seat bar. When we arrived on a Tuesday at 4:45pm, the line was already 10-people deep, and our four-person party was seated at 5:40pm. Get a drink in the lobby of David Geffen Hall while you wait." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
