Riverpark
This Tom Colicchio-owned restaurant has amazing East River views, a beer garden, and offers true farm-to-table style dining (it boasts its very own urban farm). With a great selection wine and a yummy menu with soft pretzels and brisket tacos, this spot is ideal for any occasion. It's first come, first serve seating so make sure to hustle over after work for that well-deserved cocktail.
Riverpark, 450 E 29th St.
