Open Thread: Best Places to Eat Outside in NYC?

[Photograph: Max Falkowitz]

So hey, it's nice out! Well, it was yesterday. And it promises to be nicer again soon. Which has us wondering what everyone else in the city is wondering right now: where's a good place to eat outside?

Some of our picks: We're looking forward to the backyards opening up at places like Bedouin Tent, Bar Corvo, Il Bambino, 606 R&D, and Flatbush Farm (make sure to call to see if the outdoor space is open before you go). And we're ready to do some picnicking in the park while we're at it.

This is probably also a good time to mention some of guides to drinking cocktails and beer in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

So how about you? Where do eat outside when the weather's nice?
