At Time Out, we champion our city. From those delicious bagel shops to the proud Statue of Liberty, we love every inch of New York.
But right now, not everything is ticking along as usual. Many of New York’s venues are being hit hard – and it’s just going to get more difficult over the next few months. We want you to keep supporting them, as best you can.
To make it easier for you, we want to introduce you to a few of our partners. We team up with some of New York’s best spots to bring you great info, secrets, offers and more. Here are some of our favorites. Go forth and love them as much as we do.

This Prospect Heights pizza and pasta joint has a dedicated following among the neighborhood’s residents. The menu reads like any typical old-school Italian restaurant, but the focus on seasonal ingredients sets Amorina apart. The special “Will to Live” pizza changes nightly—one day, it could be made with fresh ramp pesto and mozzarella, and the next, it could be a meaty sausage pie.

Holiday Cocktail Lounge will be delivering by the end of the week.
Thankfully, the fare La Palapa offers is as delicious to taste as the restaurant’s name is fun to say. The restaurant’s menu is vaster than what you’d likely find at a beach shack, but its festive drinks, warm aesthetic, and friendly and relaxed staff all play the lazing-in-the-sand part.
