The colder months are here, but there is still the opportunity to enjoy dining, while sipping wine and warm drinks al fresco on the East End. With the right amount of heat lamps and extra layers of clothing, we can pretend we’re in Europe. During COVID times, it’s no question that many diners feel more comfortable in open air. Grab a down jacket, vintage or faux fur, make a reservation, and order a hot toddy.
The sentiments of many restaurateurs has been that they will continue to serve outdoors, with tented areas and as many heaters as possible, for as long as there is a demand. Blankets, bungalows, and special hot drink selections will take us into winter as venues get creative. Here are a few options to check out below. Be sure to check with each restaurant before reserving. If your restaurant is serving outdoors and you would like to be added to this list, please email jessica@jameslanepost.com.
