Where to Eat Al Fresco at As New York Reopens

Restaurants will soon be able to officially open their outdoor dining areas but since we're only in Phase 1 here in New York City, I wanted to send three fantastic al fresco eateries you can dine outdoors at right now. Now that the weather is reaching the 80’s, there is no better time to get out and enjoy a good meal.

Fornino

At Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6 offers up their delicious pizzas, sandwiches and salads while they take in the beautiful views of the New York City skyline and Statue of Liberty. The science behind Fornino's dough allows for each pizza to come out perfectly every single time, no matter the day, weather or amount of toppings. Three types of 12-inch pizzas will be on the menu including the Margherita with tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and parmesan, the Calabrese with sopressata piccante, tomato, mozzarella, parmesan and oregano, and the Funghi Misti with mozzarella, caciocavallo, mixed mushroom and white truffle oil.

The Brooklyn Bridge Park Fornino location will be open on weekdays from 3pm to sunset and on weekends from 12pm to sunset. Patrons will have the ability to order in advance through the Fornino website for pickup or to make purchases on site with contactless payment options available. Delivery is available via Caviar. The pizzeria's Greenpoint flagship is also open for takeout and delivery.

Hole in the Wall

Murray Hill location (626 1st Avenue) has ample seating for diners just steps away, so patrons are able to indulge in delicious dishes while being able to eat in the fresh air. Signature dishes include their classic Avocado Toast with smashed avocado, truffled feta, roast pepitas, cherry tomatoes, micro herbs, balsamic glaze and lime. There's also the Chili Scramble with avocado, sambal emulsion, micro herbs and parmesan on sourdough and a Breaky Roll with applewood smoked bacon, chorizo pate, folded eggs, chimichurri and mayo on a milk bun with tots on the side. Sip on a Jalapeno Bloody Mary, a Blood Orange Negroni with gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and blood orange, an Aperol Spritz or a Mimosa. They also have picnic packs available for $40, which includes salami, prosciutto, Murray's ALP Blossom Gruyere, local smoked cheddar, marinated olives, fig jam, rosemary sea salt crackers, and a choice of white wine, red wine, rosé or prosecco.
