Restaurants Perfect For Outdoor/Patio Situation

our suggestions

  1. Salinas, NYC
    8.5

    Salinas

    136 9th Ave., Chelsea, NY

    Chelsea is a challenging neighborhood when it comes to eating. We’re usually only here before an event at Madison Square Garden or because a large group of females we know felt like eating tapas – and this is where large groups of females go to eat tapas. Why on earth are there so many Spanish [...]

    Max

  3. GRAN ELECTRICA, Brooklyn, NY - USA
    8.4

    Gran Electrica

    5 Front St., Brooklyn, NY

    We’ve done plenty of complaining about the lack of good Mexican food in New York, and to be honest, we’re sick of talking about it. Saying there’s no good Mexican in this city is the tantamount to saying that Times Square sucks. Not exactly breaking news. But today might be the day that we can [...]

  4. Potager
    8.3

    Potager

    1109 Odgen St., Denver, CO

    Two things. First of all, it’s pronounced “puh ta zhay”, you hillbilly. Second, this place is in Denver, which is why you’ve never heard of it. It’s also a restaurant that we love a lot, and it deserves some attention. Potager opened its doors in Denver in 1997, which is pretty much exactly the same [...]

  5. Il Buco
    8.2

    Il Buco

    47 Bond St., NoHo, NY

    Even some of the hottest restaurants have empty tables on “off” nights, but the fact that Il Buco is routinely slammed is a testament to the quality of the food and the unique character of the space. You won’t find another place in town quite like this.

  6. Traif
    8.2

    Traif

    229 S. 4th St., Brooklyn, NY

    Traif is awesome. It’s exactly the kind of restaurant we enjoy hanging out at, and would happily set up shop here permanently if we weren’t constantly running around trying new places. Infatuation Nation was in our ear about this one, and, as usual, the good people who email and tweet at us came through with [...]

  7. Diner
    8.2

    Diner

    85 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY

    Believe it or not, people used to live in Williamsburg because it was cheaper than Manhattan, not because it was cool. Before the hipster invasion began in the late 90′s, the South side belonged to the Hasidim and Peter Luger. Sure, there were always artists, musicians and .com hopefuls living there, but it was nothing [...]

  8. Frankies 457
    8.1

    Frankies (457) Spuntino

    457 Court St., Brooklyn, NY

    Not that Frankies needs another glowing review, but this really is a fantastic restaurant if you can manage to get a table. It’s a tiny, cozy joint with simple Italian cooking, and the food is pretty damn great.

  9. Pok Pok Ny
    8.1

    Pok Pok Ny

    127 Columbia St., Brooklyn, NY

    We don’t have a ton of Thai reviews on Immaculate Infatuation because, inevitably, there aren’t that many Thai spots worth dedicating a full review to. We all have our favorite work (Topaz), Chinatown (Pongsri) and Hell’s Kitchen (Wondee Siam) quick hitter/delivery spots, but if we closed our eyes and did a taste test, who can [...]

  10. Royale
    8.0

    Royale

    157 Ave. C, East Village, NY

    One of the best burgers in Manhattan…and you might never know it.
