  Courtesy of Union Square Cafe Union Square Cafe has been around for decades, but in-street dining is a first for the eatery. Restaurants are a cornerstone of life in New York, so when dining rooms were forced to close in March, it was a palpable loss for the city. Many local Wine Spectator Restaurant Award winners have since found ways to serve guests comfortably and safely outdoors, making use of everything from sidewalk space to backyard gardens. Indoor dining will be permitted in the city beginning Sept. 30, but while the weather is still apt for outdoor eating, head to these 13 spots to enjoy superior wine and food while supporting New York's restaurant scene.
 Courtesy of Zachys Georgio Pinchiorri has helped build one of the world's most impressive wine lists at his Florence landmark, Enoteca Pinchiorri.

The New York–based auction house sold over 2,500 bottles from restaurant owner Giorgio Pinchiorri's world-renowned cellar in Florence, Italy, bringing in a total of $4.1 million. See some of the record-breaking bottles.
