Remember NYC’s summer of breezy 8pm park hangs and random bench schmoozing? Well, she doesn’t live here anymore. Now, if you want to socialize beyond the bounds of your phone, let heat lamps be your North Star. A bunch of coffee shops around the city have set up cozy outdoor patios where you can meet a coworker you haven’t seen in a year, or simply fulfill your need to hang out somewhere other than your apartment. We’ve listed them by borough below.
If you know of a coffee shop that should be on this list, send us an email at nyc@theinfatuation.com.
