5 Cutest Outdoor Dining Spots in Manhattan

When indoor seating restrictions stopped the spread of COVID-19 successfully, New York restaurants began to create makeshift patio spaces. Sidewalks, parking lots, and even the street itself became an extension of a restaurant’s dining availability. The romance and excitement of outdoor dining is very much alive this summer in NYC , but where are the best places to go for the full outdoor dining experience?
