Day drinking in NYC: Grand Banks, Brooklyn Barge, other top spots

The sun is shining, the trees are in bloom and the last way you want to spend your day is cooped up indoors drinking coffee, counting down the minutes until you can be sipping a frozen margarita on a rooftop.

Take a sick day, a summer Friday or a much-deserved staycation and spend the sunny day drinking outdoors at one of these seasonal spots ready to serve you something strong and fruity long before 5 o’clock happy hour.

Cheers!
