Soon, there will be a food menu, too, which can all be enjoyed on the plush art deco furniture in a 50’s-style room. 55 Irving Place; www.dearirving.com
FiDi: Just in time for the warm weather, there is another new beer garden at South Street Seaport, thanks to the team who operated the nearby Beekman Beer Garden before it was shuttered by Hurricane Sandy-related construction. The new place, called Ambrose Hall, has an indoor hall with TVs, an outdoor bar and a “surf club” perched atop shipping containers that will serve as a pop-up space at Fulton Street plaza. Don’t worry about drinking too much: there are hearty snacks like charcuterie, bratwurst and a lobster roll to soak up the alcohol. 18-19 Fulton St; http://ambrosehall.theluregroup.com/
