Summer is the time to leave the four walls of your apartment behind and get out into the fresh air. Many bars around the city offer outdoor options but not all are created equal. Below are some of our favorite spaces around the city that allow you to enjoy the sunshine.

The Bronx Brewery
I find myself in the Bronx more and more these days! My gym Grit City NYC, lunches at Mottley Kitchen, Yankee Games and The Bronx Brewery. The Bronx Brewery is spacious with its brewery, taproom & backyard space. While it has recently expanded around the city, their OG spot is in the Port Morris Neighborhood of the Bronx. The owners believe in beer’s power to build community and they strive to bring people together, while celebrating the rich and diverse creative scene in their home borough through vibrant culture that uses beer, art, food, and music to inspire. They serve beer – plus a full

Broadway Review: Fat Ham

Restaurant Review: Sweet Catch Brooklyn

by xoJohn

Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn has a new gem everyone should check out. It’s called Sweet Catch and it brings the flavors of the Carolinas to New York City. The new hot spot is the brainchild of Ka-Wana Jefferson, a Bronx native, who has a passion for good culinary experiences. I stopped by on a beautiful Saturday morning for Brunch and was immediately captivated by the serene environment as you opened the doors. The space is decorated with a southern style decor and hosts many photos which showcase black culinary history and Heritage.

Restaurant Review: Il Tinello East

by xoJohn

For over 35 years Il Tinello has blessed Midtown Manhattan with its classic Italian cuisine. The west side has enjoyed a feast of handmade pasta sumptuous sauces and incredible hospitality and now that same energy has been brought to the east side.  Just a few blocks from the historic Grand Central Station is Il Tinello’s 2nd location. The 75-seat dining space is in a cozy nook on 46th street. At the entrance step up a few stairs to the hostess and take in the quaint dimly lit area.  We sat at a nice quiet table in the rear of the restaurant.
