Pretend you’re in the tropics when stepping foot inside Gilligan’s, the hip outdoor Soho bar and restaurant set to reopen for the season on May 1.
As usual, expect the space at 310 West Broadway by Grand Street to be filled with the sort of palm trees and overall vegetation that provide the perfect atmosphere for a refreshing frozen watermelon margarita, one of the many drinks on the menu.
On that list is also a frozen limoncello pina colada made with white rum that embodies the very taste of summer and the spot’s own take on a classic gin-and-tonic, this one made with celery bitters.
Most of the cocktails are available in giant carafes as well, just as you would order them while frolicking on the beach in Mexico on a summer trip.
Although this year’s food offerings haven’t yet been officially announced, we expect favorites from years past to help us take in all those drinks, including stone oven pizza, all sorts of seafood dishes and to-be-shared orders, like the blistered shishito peppers, fresh burrata presented with watermelon and grilled sourdough and the Tuscan kale salad.
Not to be missed is the roasted branzino, one of our personal favorites: served butterflied, the fish is brushed with olive oil and topped with fresh shaved fennel, a parsley leaf and a citrus dressing.
Although NYC is chock-full of high-end bars serving perfectly crafted cocktail that history books will write about, there is something to be said about setting: no other outdoor drinking den feels quite as vacation-y as Gilligan’s does, so definitely try to stop by when in need of a break from the hustle and bustle of this great city of ours.

Tips for experiencing Rooftop Cinema Club
The cinema is located high above Midtown’s streets on the Skylawn rooftop of the Embassy Suites Hotel on West 37th Street where the skyline serves as an incredible backdrop. Don’t worry about background noise, though: You’ll get your own set of wireless headphones that block out street noise, and you can adjust the volume as needed.
As for seating, you’ll get to choose a standard high-back lounge chair or a premium lounge chair that comes with extra cushions. You’ll book your ticket type, then get to pick your exact seat on-site, first-come, first-served. Ticket prices range from $12-$29/person depending on your seating preference and movie time.
Snacks are, of course, an important part of the movie-going experience, and Rooftop Cinema Club delivers with hot dogs, Bavarian pretzels, nachos, popcorn, and pizza. There’s also a full bar on-site with beer, wine and themed cocktails.
A few more tips: If you’re going to a daytime screening, wear some sunscreen; if you’re going in the evening, bring a jacket. The cinema’s cashless, so be sure to bring a debit or credit card.
“Great film will always be the cornerstone of Rooftop Cinema Club, and the social cinema element is what makes us truly special. This season really highlights that,” Rooftop Cinema Club founder and chief executive Gerry Cottle tells Time Out New York. “Whether joining old friends for iconic cartoons at our new Saturday Cereal Club or making new ones at a Tuesday Social Hour — on any day of the week, we’re bringing New Yorkers together to enjoy entertainment atop our hidden gem in the city.”
The venue is truly a hidden gem where the atmosphere will make you feel some serious main character energy.
