Las Mananitas, Brewster

Why It's Outdoor Worthy: This Mexican restaurant's stone fireplace and wooden beams give it an atmosphere that is rustic and welcoming. Walk onto the expansive back patio and you'll no doubt see patrons sipping mango margaritas and dining on guacamole made fresh tableside. It's the stellar views of the nearby East Branch Reservoir and tree-filled hillsides -- as well as the authentic food -- that attract people to this hot spot. The ocassional live mariachi music only ups the ambiance.

Enjoy The View: 1250 Route 22, Brewster, N.Y.; (845) 279-4646; www.lasmananitasrestaurant.com/.
