Tapas in Style – The Patio Bar

The Garden City Hotel has long been a historical landmark on Long Island. The hotel has been standing more than 140 years and is often the picturesque setting for local weddings and local upscale events and fundraisers. Their famed Polo Lounge is reminiscent of an era gone by, and cocktails are served with the highest regard to superior spirits. Fortunately, the Hotel has added a Patio Bar that is less intimidating then the Polo Lounge, and offers a menu that compliments the warmth of the Summer Season. The outdoor lounge area that leads to the main entrance of the hotel has been outfitted with comfortable seating areas that are conducive to small intimate gatherings and evenings of easy going listening to live music. A particular favorite snack of mine is the lobster slider with a specialty cocktail on the side – specifically an Arnold Palmer! The Patio plans on having event evenings too – I am particularly looking forward to the tribute to Audrey Hepburn Evening! If you haven’t visited this local gem, now is the time.
