The past few weeks have been so beautiful that it’s hard to believe that Memorial Day is still a few days away! But it’s true — we still have a solid block of months in which to spend every possible minute outdoors. And that includes dining. Our annual guide includes 17 new, updated (or just new to our list) outdoor spaces that we visited over the year.
While we know you can’t wait to get out there and try them all, we’d also like to encourage you to be patient as restaurants staff up for the season. In some cases, menus and hours might be limited, and staffing shortages mean you might be waiting a little longer (hopefully in the sunshine!) for your food or drinks. * An asterisk denotes an updated patio.
