"We’ve heard the airy patio at Oxomoco described as “so LA,” but don’t let that deter you. (If you come here in the winter—“so NYC”—it’s totally covered and comfortably heated.) Make a reservation for a low or high-top table where you can enjoy a frozen paloma, some swordfish tacos, and perhaps a few stray West Coast vibes." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
"Some things at Oxomoco in Greenpoint are optional. Starting out with a margarita or giant frozen cocktail is not. And neither is ordering the tlayuda—our favorite tortilla dish at a restaurant with many good tortilla dishes (which probably has something to do with the fact that they make their own). We’re done giving you rules for this spot—now just figure out when to come here for a fun date night, a group dinner, or a taco-eating competition against yourself." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
"File the frozen cocktails at this upscale Mexican restaurant in the fantasy section of the library, because there’s definitely some alchemy involved here. The offerings rotate regularly, but there are usually a couple frozen drinks available—all with more nuanced flavors than you'd expect at 32 degrees or below. Most recently, we loved a spicy and refreshing Nopalito with cucumber, mint, mezcal, and sotol. Sit outside and drink several, alongside some spiced peanuts and smoked mango." - will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
"With colorful umbrellas and even more colorful tostadas and frozen cocktails, the patio at Oxomoco seems much further from Greenpoint Avenue than it actually is. You can make use of it for brunch or dinner, both of which are served every day. Reservations are required, and you can make one their website." - matt tervooren
"Justin Bazdarich’s Greenpoint hotspot is an airy, plant-filled dining room that feels like you’re on a splurge-y vacation. Sip frozen grapefruit palomas as you dive into tuna tartare, lamb-squash blossom tacos, and shrimp ceviche tostadas." - Emma Orlow
