Five Places to Dine in Your Bathing Suit

Here’s the problem with going to the beach: well, there isn’t really one. It’s great. But if you had to pick, it’s the notable lack of establishments that welcome a sandy suit. Except these five spots. Their motto: give us your wet, your tired, your huddled two-pieces. Okay, maybe dry off first.

LUCALI

The Post-Beach Pizza. Of Course.

You require: Carbohydrates. Being out in the sun is tough work.
You’ll receive: Only the best damn pizza in the city. Hell, maybe even the East Coast. Go with a garlic-and-basil pie. If it’s good enough for Hova, it’s good enough for your boardshorts.

ORANGE BLOSSOM

Like Cocktailing in a Train Car

You require: Scallops. Huge ones. We don’t question these things.
You’ll receive: A brand-new food and drink menu, so those giant scallops are happening. So is a Peppermint Twist Fizz. It has peppermint. And alcohol. That’s really all you need to know.

RADIO BAR

Grilled Cheese and Tiki Drinks. Yep.

You require: A solid daiquiri. None of that frozen stuff.
You’ll receive: A house-shaken daiquiri with generous amounts of rum. Pair that with a grilled cheese sandwich from their snack bar and some giant Jenga and you’ve got yourself... well, we’re not really sure, but it sounds good.

NAKED TACO

Some Amazingly Weird Tacos and Drinks

You require: A follow-up pool situation with a few margaritas.
You’ll receive: Access to the rooftop pool of the Dream. A pitcher of the salted-caramel-and-banana margarita. Fried-chicken tacos from Ralph Pagano. Feel free to arrange those as you see fit.

JAMES CLUB

After the Show, It’s the Hotel Lobby...

You require: Some classic gaming and a stiff drink.
You’ll receive: The lobby lounge of The James Royal Palm. They’ve got a daily spiked punch, ceviche and a roster of classic games. Stuff like chess and mah-jongg. Nothing relaxes like that mah-jongg, man.
