An iron gate welcomes you to the Palace Hotel's swanky outdoor courtyard, where waitresses in LBDs hand you red leather menus touting $20 cocktails. Expect to see Fifth Avenue regulars—ladies who lunch, suits in business meetings— along with scattered tourists checking out the pomp. Regal touches abound; the wrought iron patio furniture makes the perfect setting for that mid-afternoon cocktail or glass of wine (there are sixty to choose from). Executive Chef Justin Bogle and the double Michelin Star team at GILT provide shareable plates including fish tacos, thin crusted pizza, truffle potato fries and "Gossip Grill," a nod to the show in which the courtyard is often featured. — Yelena Shuster
