GITANO Garden of Love <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

\"Nibbles

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

At GITANO Garden of Love, guests are transported to the tropical jungle of Tulum without leaving lower Manhattan. This outdoor restaurant and bar is dynamically framed by the downtown skyline. The festive space is resplendent with 30-foot coconut palms and hundreds of tropical plants, a giant black Bedouin tent, twin wood pergola dining decks and an open fire kitchen. <\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

This season, a star-studded line-up of chefs will be creating special menus and cocktails. Combine this with compelling sustainability and community initiatives including clean energy, urban farming education and mindfulness programming, and you\u2019ve got a hotspot worth a visit.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

The innovative menu concept has been created by five of the world\u2019s most impressive international chefs who are united by their shared love for the cuisine of Mexico\u2019s Yucat\u00e1n<\/a>. This culinary dream team includes Mike Bagale, Michelin-Star Chef of Alinea in Chicago. Chef Bagale’s Wild Shrimp Ceviche and Short Rib Pibil Tacos, served on house made tortillas with banana habanero sauce, are mind-blowingly delicious. Sip a Jungle Fever, made with Mezcal, cilantro, chile and lime, for the ultimate food and drink pairing. <\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

There\u2019s a distinct focus on sustainability with a percentage of the proceeds supporting environmental initiatives. All single use plastic has been banned and solar power is utilized.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Connecting with and giving back to the community are at the restaurant’s core. The onsite urban farm features 20 raised beds with over 50 crops of herbs, vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers. Last year, GITANO Garden of Love hosted nearly 1,000 public school students and the number is expected to more than double this season. The space will also offer guided sunset meditations daily.<\/p>\r\n

GITANO Garden of Love is located at 76 Varick Street. Take the 1 train to Canal Street. <\/p>\r\n

Lemon’s<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

\"Lemon's

Lemon\u2019s is a new summertime rooftop bar at Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg that takes its inspiration from the sun-dappled shores of Italy. Think of it as an alfresco party on the Amalfi Coast- except here a view of the Mediterranean is replaced with the glittering Manhattan skyline.  <\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The cocktail menu focuses on light, bubbly beverages paired with weather-appropriate eats. The vibe captures a dash of the aperitivo culture, a classic Italian custom of sipping a pre-dinner cocktail with light bites. Snacks of salumi and grilled calamari will look familiar to anyone who has lazed away a summer afternoon in the cafes of Capri. Italian-style toasted sandwiches, stuffed with ingredients like ham and tomato, are heartier nibbles. <\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"Cocktail

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The design builds off of the vibrant colors found in coastal Italy. Vintage Nectarine-hued damask wallpaper adorns the venue\u2019s interior walls, complemented by sunset colored cushions on walnut wooden banquettes. An outdoor bar is nestled under a 40-foot retractable awning, with colorful umbrellas and strings of fairy lights adding a sprinkling of magic and a healthy dose of la dolce vita<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n

Lemon’s is located at 80 Wythe Ave. in Williamsburg. Take the L to Bedford Ave. <\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Nobody Told Me<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

\"Pepper

Nobody Told Me <\/a>is a new cocktail bar on Manhattan\u2019s Upper West Side just a few blocks south of Columbia University. It brings tasty cocktails and delectable fare to an area with slim pickings when it comes to drinking and dining options. Co-owners Nick Pfanerstill, former chef de cuisine of Dovetail, and Alberto Miranda, ex beverage director of Belle Shoals, are serving what they refer to as \u201cquality bar bites and cocktails at an affordable price\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Try the $5 Little Shrimp Roll, <\/em>a plump tiger shrimp topped with spicy remoulade sauce, served on a toasted Hawaiian roll.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For something more substantial, order the 4-Hour BBQ Cabbage. <\/em>It\u2019s prepared by slowly roasting green cabbage until it\u2019s sweet before it’s charred on the griddle. It\u2019s topped with crispy kale chips for added crunch and texture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Nibbles

Nobody Told Me is located at 951 Amsterdam Ave between 106th and 107th Street. Take the 1 train to 103 and Broadway. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
