Memorial Day has come and gone--the unofficial welcome of summertime across the United States. Restaurants from coast to coast are dusting off that patio furniture and getting ready for the al fresco dining season. Outdoor seating is a big plus for restaurant patrons. To set up your patio, review our furniture recommendations here. (And you can always contact us with more questions.)

To kick your summertime set off right, Food and Wine has made interesting versions of the top 7 cocktails for the 2015 summer, so get your June happy hour in motion! (And here is a reminder of all the wonderful summer produce you have to look forward to as we move into season.)
