Summer in the city always hums with extra energy, all restaurants and bars are crowded even on a Monday night, and Thursdays become the new Fridays. While the subway commute is hot and sticky in the morning, after 5:00PM the weather is just right for a cocktail, and if you're lucky, that cocktail is being sipped on a rooftop. I am not sure why outdoor drinking and dining is so hard to come by in NYC, but its scarcity makes it a true gem and I am a self-proclaimed rooftop chaser come summertime. This is why I will be issuing a summer special rooftop report just for you.
Bobo, a restaurant tucked inside a brownstone in the West Village, has a basement entrance concealed by vines and is just the gem I like to go searching for. You walk downstairs to a quaintly decorated bistro and bar, and if you do not specifically ask, you would never know there is a mini roof deck upstairs for diners and drinkers alike. The deck is adorned with trellises draped with greenery and feels like you've stepped into an intimate outdoor dinner party. The menu is french and simple so there are not many options, but the classics are covered. I always get the Bobo salad with Bibb lettuce, beets, pecans, and chevre. Its a perfect lunch. Cheers!
