Time Out Market New York will welcome back guests to enjoy incredible cuisine, cocktails and cultural experiences on the Market’s outdoor terraces overlooking Manhattan on Wednesday, August 5. With a beautiful fifth floor rooftop and increased riverside dining of nearly 250 seats, guests can soak in the summer weather with sweeping views of Manhattan’s skyline on Dumbo’s waterfront. A new Time Out Market app will also be available for contactless ordering for guests who wish to eat in or take out. For those who prefer take-out to share a picnic with friends, the Brooklyn Bridge Park with its 85-acre waterfront park is only steps from the Market.
“Time Out Market New York has 10,150 square feet of outdoor space. This includes our fifth floor rooftop terrace and increased riverside seating of nearly 250. Our guests can properly distance themselves when they socialize and enjoy the summer weather without losing the fun atmosphere that makes the Time Out Market experience so special,” says Time Out Market CEO Didier Souillat. “Our team — alongside Empire Stores and renowned chefs and restaurateurs — is excited to welcome back our guests to taste incredible dishes and beverages from local favorites and embrace New York’s unique and iconic culture. Time Out Market offers guests a true Time Out Tastecation, the ultimate staycation destination where guests can send their taste buds on a culinary voyage.”
