Listen up mozzarella lovers, Bar Pitti is a must-visit for a classic Italian dinner on a summer night. The restaurant is located on sixth avenue and gives customers the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Bar Pitti has not only been raved about in several NYC-based magazines but various celebrities have been spotted enjoying their meal there as well. Along with its quick service and hospitality, the food is mentioned to be as good as family spots in Little Italy. Visit Bar Pitti for a wonderful and fresh Italian-cooked meal.

Want to snack with a gorgeous view of the New York City sunset? Pier 17 is the place to visit! Take a trip to the pier to catch the perfect view of the city while snacking in lounge chairs. This is the spot to relax and catch up with some friends without too much background noise. Pier 17 includes lounge spots that can be used to enjoy the weather, especially during the summertime. At The Greens located at Pier 17, foodies can enjoy their own time with the socially distanced personal lawns that are spaced out throughout the pier. The iconic Manhattan skyline is a catch, but the small and delicious bites are a must.
