Ten of New York’s hottest restaurants—including several on our best restaurants list—are teaming up for a new, two-night drive-thru tasting event in Brooklyn next month featuring golf cart chauffeurs and a 10-course tasting menu under the stars.
Dishes at The Resy Drive-Thru New York event include Bonnie’s Yao Yu (a squid dish), Shuka’s falafel sandwich, Dhamaka’s dilliwala butter chicken with jeera pulao, and Crown Shy’s satsuma, vanilla and meringue ice cream sandwich. The pop-up restaurants will be arranged in a labyrinth along the Brooklyn waterfront at Skyline Drive-In in Greenpoint on Friday, September 16 and Saturday, September. 17.

As if riding in a golf cart and admiring the skyline while snacking weren’t enough, you can also expect entertainment, a trip to a classic New York bodega, a stop at a subway station, and a block party with a DJ.
The event was born out of the pandemic in Miami and Los Angeles as a way to enjoy restaurants more safely while venues were closed or operating in limited capacity. It was an instant hit, so naturally event organizers wanted to bring it to New York City.
On the menu
The lineup spans Cantonese, Indian, Persian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Soul, Italian, and American foods. Here’s what’s on the menu:
- Bonnie’s: Yao Yu (marinated grilled squid with olives, preserved lemon, and herbs)
- Crown Shy: Satsuma, vanilla, and meringue ice cream sandwich
- Dhamaka: Dilliwala butter chicken with jeera pulao
- Frankies Spuntino: Roasted cauliflower with golden raisins, torpedo shallots, muscat vinegar, and Frankies 457 organic extra virgin olive oil

- Shuka: Ayesha’s falafel sandwich wrapped in lafa
- Sofreh: Saffron shrimp over herb and tamarind sauce and saffron basmati rice
- Sylvia’s: Crab cake bites

- Union Square Cafe: Marbled cheesecake with concord grape
