I don’t know what it’s like right now where you are. Some regions have, famously, been open for months. Some areas outside the U.S. are still in various stages of lockdown. But in New York City, we’re experiencing an almost unbelievably wonderful re-emergence. Indoor dining is back, sure, but so is live music and live comedy, holdout museums, and nightlife. The post-vaxx crowds are bringing new energy back into the streets and dining rooms.

To mark this big reopening in the restaurant world and our social calendars, the Eater New York and New York Magazine food section teams joined forces to create a thorough guide to the places that have opened or significantly changed since the onset of the pandemic. The focus here is on places that offer a fun night out, an experience, a chance to reconnect with (non-pod) friends. They’re places that should make your summer to-do list.

Read the full guide here and check out a map of all the choices here.
