Kat Hanna: Sit on one of the benches by the East River, toward the top of the park behind Gracie Mansion, and you'll get a cool breeze, a great view and a bit of serenity of soaking up the water vibe!
Monica Cullen: A nice alternative to Central Park; enjoy the breeze during a hot summer day on the lawn or a bench.
Mika: A lovely neighborhood park on the eastern edge of Yorktown in the UES. There are two dog parks and benches all along the water with great views. Very calming especially in the evenings.

Stephen Okano: Great coffee and vibes in the UES! Seating outside is great for mornings with the baby or dog.
Greg Tan: Probably the most solid coffee option on the UES. Gorgeous interiors, delicious (Aussie) coffee, and great terrace. Gets crowded on weekends!
ZenFoodster: Don’t understand why this spot’s so popular..$11 for a regular coffee + a hibiscus iced tea is totally overpriced.

Lauren Gilchrist: Amazing british gastropub with hot bartenders, gorgeous patio, and inventive, if heavy, food. Don't miss the cod and the scotch egg.
Ellen Rielly: So good! Try the chocolate pie with sea salt ice cream for dessert. Make a reservation or be prepared to sit at the communal table. Nice outdoor area, decent beer list.
Morgan McKee: Relaxing Saturday brunch. Nothing that is going to knock your socks off, but good staples and fun garden patio if it’s nice out. Avocado toast eggs benny and fish n chips pictured.

K: Outdoor seating, which we opted for--pulled pork tacos needed sauce of some kind but other than that, great, quick service & an extensive beer list.
Simrita Chopra: The veggies with hummus is a filling appetiser and the bratwurst was pretty good! Definitely get a table outside if the weather is pleasant (:
Dan Ucko: Great beer selection, big place that's good for groups. The pretzel is insanely big -- and fresh!
