New York's secret restaurant gardens

DuMont

Since winning Time Out’s 2006 Eat Out award for best garden, DuMont is no longer a great secret, but it’s still a great place to eat. DuMont’s burgers are legendary, as is the gooey goodness of the “Dumac & Cheese” (fortified with gruyere and bacon). The back garden—with emergency rain cover—is decked out with wooden benches and a raised “tree house” space with several tables. Plus an outdoor bar to keep the $5 imported beers and house cocktails coming.
