Tiramisu

"Unlike so many other sidewalk seating situations in Manhattan, the one at this Upper East Side Italian restaurant allows you and your friend some healthy distance from the pedestrians going to New York Sports Club or walking their goldendoodles on 3rd Avenue. The thin-crust pizzas, salads, and pastas come in really big portions here - and the complimentary garlic focaccia might be better than anything on the menu. Tell your friend to ask for more and stick some in her purse." - hannah albertine

"Unlike so many other sidewalk set-ups in Manhattan, Tiramisu’s patio has enough to space to allow you and a friend to gaze at pedestrians and their goldendoodles from afar. The thin-crust pizzas, salads, and pastas here come in massive portions, and the complimentary garlic focaccia might be better than anything on the menu." - hannah albertine, nikko duren

"If you spend time on the Upper East Side, this Italian restaurant is one that you should be aware of for casual dates or meals with your family. In the summertime, they set up sidewalk seating with enough distance from the pedestrians going to New York Sports Club or walking their goldendoodles on 3rd Avenue. Aside from the thin-crust pizzas, salads, and pastas on the menu, the complimentary garlic focaccia might be better than anything else here." - Hannah Albertine
