With New York City starting to fully reopen, rooftop season could not come at a better time. Fall back in love with the city that never sleeps by sipping an iced cold beverage and taking in some magical views. Plus, with COVID restrictions still in place, most of these bars require a reservation, an upside at those notoriously hard-to-book places. Ahead, find a rooftop watering hole that checks all of the boxes, whether you’re looking for a swanky terrace to impress out-of-towners or a more relaxed seaside bar with views of the Atlantic.

Seattle sucks at keeping the interesting ice cream in town, but with a new crop that opened during the pandemic, the outlook for this summer seems pretty sweet. One after another, the most creative, unique, and freshest shops seem to close up as fast as they opened. In recent years Kurt Farm, Sweet Lo’s, Sweet Bumpas, Lick, Central District, and Seattle Freeze all hung up their scoops or packed them for greener pastures – possibly literally: is it Seattle’s rain that drives them away?

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Founded on their mother’s Middle Eastern-inspired recipes, members of the Deib family Palestinians who immigrated to the United States from the West Bank have built their restaurant model around home-cooked meals they grew up eating for lunch and dinner.
“My mother (Jehad Deib) was a great cook. And we use all her recipes in our restaurants. All of our recipes are made from scratch,” said Malek Deib, of Taheni Mediterranean Grill, which is the newest addition to the Staten Island Mall’s Food District in New Springville.
