in Manhattan

This playground has amazing hippo structures and a huge area of kayak launches, sports fields, tennis and volleyball courts and expansive grass areas and a playhouse that can be hired out for special events. Otherwise just set up a picnic and Bob's your uncle!

This seasonal cafe is located alongside the Hudson River, so you know the views are amazing. They have a casual menu and an easy ordering system, with counter pick up to be enjoyed al fresco. You have to try their homemade blueberry lemonade!

This 9.6 acre public park is home to ping pong tables, putting greens, open-air reading and games rooms, carousels, chess, as well as the Bryant Grill and Cafe, with America-style dining on their patio or rooftop. Check their calendar for juggling shows and bird watching.

What is an outdoor party venue list without Central Park - the urban oasis with ballfields and a zoo? And a carousel! Grab a ride at the southern end of the park or stop off to see some wildlife at the zoo. If you want to try something more luxurious, give the Loeb Boathouse gondolas a sail or go ice skating in colder weather.
