Hi there. Today we’ve got another giveaway, this one focused on the Hamptons, for a dinner valued at $200: Share your thoughts on a favorite NYC outdoor dining experience for a chance to win. Speaking of outside, don’t miss Nadia’s where to eat ice cream in NYC on the app. (For that matter, we’ve got tons of personal lists over there, like my favorite places to drink wine right now.

Also in today’s newsletter: Cosme is opening a sibling bar in the old Atla space, Zoli’s rooftop, opening tomorrow, has its own menu, and more. Thanks for reading. — Melissa McCart, lead editor, Eater Northeast
Summer is a time for weekend escapes and eating outside. We’re giving away dinner for two worth $200 at Nourish by the Roundtree in Bridgehampton, plus a glass of wine for each person.
The restaurant opens onto a leafy garden, while large windows and natural wood throughout the dining room blur the line between indoors and out — a fitting setting for a long summer dinner. Chef Dewa Wijaya’s menu draws on his Balinese heritage and East End ingredients, with dishes like lobster rolls, salt-baked branzino, and grilled Acabonac Farm sirloin.
To enter: What’s the most memorable meal you’ve had outdoors in New York? Tell us in the comments where you were and why you still think about it.
We’ll randomly select one winner from the comments on Friday, July 17— only one entry per person. Good luck!

Zoli, the new (mostly) seafood restaurant from Houseman chef Ned Baldwin, opened this spring at the Amant arts campus at 312 Maujer Street, near Waterbury Street, in East Williamsburg. Now it’s adding another draw: a rooftop terrace with its own more casual menu opens to the public on Friday, July 10.
The roughly 25-seat rooftop will offer a collection of mostly finger foods, Baldwin tells me, with nothing priced above around $23. “It’s so nice up there,” he says, calling the teak-lined terrace “preposterously beautiful,” with “so much greenery.” It’ll open Friday through Sunday for its first week or two before expanding to Wednesday-through-Sunday dinner service. About half the seats will be available by reservation, with the rest reserved for walk-ins. Beginning on Thursday, July 16, the rooftop also kicks off a collaboration series with guest chefs, starting with the team from Mili on the Lower East Side.
Enrique Olvera and his Casamata hospitality group are opening Bar Cosme this fall at 372 Lafayette Street, at Great Jones Street in Noho — the same address that housed Atla, his all-day Mexican restaurant, for nearly a decade before it closed in May. Bar Cosme is a nightlife-focused destination anchored by food that complements nearby Cosme’s menu: raw and slightly cooked preparations, tortillas and salsas, and dishes cooked asador-style. Sebastián Tollius, formerly of Eleven Madison Park and Clemente Bar, set up the bar menu. And the space is being designed by Taller ADG, a Mexico City-based architecture studio.
Ludico Tribeca, a new Italian restaurant from the family behind Beefbar, opens this fall at 339 Greenwich Street, at Jay Street, in the former Sarabeth’s space. Chef Nelson Gonzalez leads the kitchen, and David Rockwell designed the 150-seat space, preserving the vaulted ceilings of the old Bazzini building and adding a wine room in the passage between the two spaces, a private dining room with a skylight, and a bar in the back room that exits on Jay Street. Owner Mahween Rahman will run the restaurant with her sons Aqib and Tareef. Art from local galleries Andrew Kreps and Nino Mier will appear throughout. Tribeca Citizen first reported the news; the opening is expected shortly after Labor Day.
On the heels of Sweetgreen introducing sandwich wraps, the company is releasing a new menu item today, Thursday, July 9, in collaboration with Alice Waters — a peach bowl with goat cheese inspired by her famous peach-on-a-plate dessert at Chez Panisse, with proceeds benefiting the Edible Schoolyard Project. To mark the collaboration, Sweetgreen is releasing a limited-edition zine, Love Letters to Alice, featuring tributes from New York food figures including David Chang, José Andrés, Mark Bittman, and Dan Barber, available on the website (with proceeds also going to Edible Schoolyard). The bowl is available across all 300-plus Sweetgreen locations in more than 30 states.
