Top 12 Event Venues in NYC with Outdoor Space

With summer just around the corner, just about every corporate event, meeting or conference can benefit from allowing attendees to pop outside for some fresh air. Even the most staid function can be more fun when invitees can enjoy a rooftop view or a leisurely break on an outdoor terrace. And if you’re planning a company party or social outing, having at least a bit of outdoor space is essential in New York in the summer. While most event venues in NYC don’t offer much in the way of outdoor space, some of the best spaces in the city do. If you’re looking for an event with an outdoor component (or even a simple balcony or terrace for your guests to escape to), simply post your event request on Revelr to hear back within minutes from the perfect space for your event.
