As the temperature rises this spring, the demand for al fresco dining experiences has skyrocketed in New York City.
However, crowded and busy outdoor dining venues can spoil the experience. To cater to buyers interested in the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle, developers have introduced private outdoor dining spaces to the terraces and decks of their buildings’ top penthouses and mega apartments.
Private outdoor dining spaces offer the ultimate privacy, allowing residents to enjoy a meal in the sun with a nice view. It’s not just about dining; these outdoor spaces are also perfect for enjoying music, working from home or just lounging around.
With outdoor lounges equipped with long dining tables, grills and comfortable seating areas, penthouse residents can enjoy the rich al fresco lifestyle within the comfort of their own homes.
Let’s take a look at some of the top properties in New York City that have gone the extra mile in offering an exclusive outdoor dining experience:
