Restaurants Perfect For Outdoor/Patio Situation

Diner
85 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211Believe 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 [...]

Lucy’s Fried Chicken
2218 College Ave., Austin, TXNot all that long ago, chef James Holmes decided it was time for a spinoff. His restaurant Olivia, an upscale farm-to-table driven establishment on South Lamar, had quickly become known for a sleeper hit on its brunch menu – fried chicken. And just like in the entertainment world, if you’ve got a popular character inside [...]

Frankies (457) Spuntino
457 Court St., Brooklyn, NY 11231Not 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.

Pok Pok Ny
127 Columbia St., Brooklyn, NY 11231We 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 [...]

Jersey City is the largest city in the state of New Jersey, was the birthplace to both Martha Stewart and Beetlejuice (Howard Stern’s, not Michael Keaton’s), and is currently [...]

Frank
88 2nd Ave., East Village, NY 10003Frank has been serving hungry hipsters in this hood for years now and doing it with their own DIY “we do it our way” attitude. The food is consistently solid, though a little underwhelming at times, but you come back regardless because it’s places like this that make the East Village one of the greatest neighborhoods in the world.

August
359 Bleecker St., West Village, NY 10014When Gail Simmons hit us with her Friday Fives, she listed August as her Chronic Brunch pick. Smart woman. She made us realize that even though August has long been a staple in our lives, a review seems to have slipped through the cracks. It’s time to rectify this situation right now. Everyone loves August. [...]

Red Hat
1 Bridge Street, Westchester, NY 10533Once the weather turns warm, getting out of the city is a necessity. Here’s a good idea for a day trip – lunch at Red Hat in Irvington. Located on the Hudson River, close to the Tappen Zee Bridge, the view, with the faint outline of the NYC skyline visible looking south and bridge upon [...]

Zack’s Oak Bar and Restaurant
232 Willow Avenue, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030Every neighborhood needs a solid neighborhood hang, and for everyone here in the Immaculate Infatuation New Jersey office (me), that hang is Zack’s Oak Bar and Restaurant. For years now, Zack’s has dutifully served as our go-to spot for a wide variety of eating and drinking-related activities in Hoboken, and we can proudly say that [...]
