Between June and August, if you’re not in the Hamptons, "down the shore" or chugging Aperol spritzes on some overpriced cliff in Capri, are you even surviving summer right? For the chosen few stuck sweating it out in Manhattan (bless your keratin), it’s a city-wide Hunger Games to maintain a social life while everyone else is busy "summering" somewhere with a private chef.
However, there are these rare, mystical days — usually Mondays through Wednesdays — when the Hamptons girlies and Ravello regulars make a brief reappearance in Manhattan.
And when they are back, suddenly everyone’s scrambling to grab dinner with their “satellite” friends — AKA the people they’d never be caught dead sharing a beach house with, but owe a long-overdue “we should catch up!” moment.
So here it is: your survival guide to weeknight dinners you don’t really want to go to, but promised you’d be a “better friend” back in May. These are spots with yummy food, low drama, no Resy waitlists and prices that won’t make you resentful you didn’t just buy that Monday Swimwear bikini for Marbella instead.
