Don’t skip out on the warm fresh air while dining and sit outdoors! It’s what we all look forward to all year long: outdoor dining. Long Island has dockside dining, beachside dining, classic patio dining, and even airconditioned igloo dining, so pick your preferred view and check out the venue options for your next meal.
Insider’s Tip: Craving wine and small bites under the sun? Head to Long Island’s Wine Country on the North Fork, where most vineyards offer outdoor seating, light fare or full meals, and the chance to roam through the vines between sips.
On the Beach
If you like dining with sand between your toes, umbrellas standing tall for shade, and hearing the soft lull of waves pull in and out as you choose your appetizer, check out these spots for beachside dining:
The Beach Club at Gurney's Montauk
The Halyard at Soundview Greenport
Classic Patio
All the comfort of staying indoors, plus sunshine and a refreshing breeze. These classic outdoor patio spots are perfect for your next date night. So, when the hostess asks, “Would you like to sit inside or out?” you already know your answer.
