Craving a fun, beachy vibe without having to leave the city this summer? While the majority of New Yorkers flock to nearby seaside towns (hello, Hamptons), you can set sail to Gilligan’s, the tiki-chic bar and eatery that brings a taste if the tropics to SoHo, Manhattan. The artistic and expansive tropical-resort-meets-yacht-club décor and island-vibe food and drink menu make you almost forget you’re in the city.

Gilligan’s is known for its ingredient-driven, distinct summer dishes and famed, and totally Insta-worthy, Frozen Watermelon Margarita. A.K.A. you need to get one. It's both refreshing and delicious.

So the next time you’re looking for an after work or weekend brunch spot, head here, pull up a seat at one of the picnic tables set up under ivy-covered trellises, and enjoy the nautical theme, tiki-chic hotspot. I have a good feeling you might never want to leave!
