It’s ‘Dinner With a Big Group’ Season

I have notifications turned on for only two Twitter accounts: One is for the city’s alternate-side parking days, and the other is @nymetrowx, an account dedicated to breathless coverage of New York City meteorology. To live here is to be incredibly attuned to the weather — after all, you’re probably going to be out in it.

That’s why when the weather’s going to be immaculate, planning starts immediately for park hangs, stoop sits and outdoor dining. This naturally leads to larger gatherings, so I thought I’d swing a few recommendations your collective way for where to get a group together for a good time.
