Un(fortuantely) for you, the only affordable place was across the street from LA's notorious club, LUX. A week into the store's opening, one of your employees turns up dead. Luckily for you, Detective Chloe Decker is on the case with her civilian consultant, Lucifer Morningstar. Secrets are revealed, promises are broken, and Liars get caught.

**SLIGHT SEASON 5 SPOILERS**

Word Count: 1.7k

--------------------

You walked out of your office, a small smile crossing your features as you watched each employee prep for opening day. "Jamie!" You cheered, walking to your store's supervisor, nudging the blue-haired girl. "How are things going, love? All is well?" Jamie's head shot up, her eyes slightly crazed as she looks at you. "Oh! Y/N! Things are going well! Everyone is pretty much ready, Christa is getting a little anxiety from such a long line but I think we can power through this!" Jamie put a hand on your shoulder, gently patting it. "You should be proud of yourself, Y/N, this is your business! You did this," you smiled, your gaze shifting around the room. You noticed Christa beginning to look frazzled, parting with Jamie so you could take care of your friend. "Hey, Chris, is everything okay?" You murmured softly, looking at your other supervisor with a caring smile. She looked at you, sharing an awkward smile with you. "Hey, I'm just getting a little anxiety. I have a bad feeling about today, I don't know why," you took her hand into your own, gently squeezing it. "You have nothing to worry about, darling. If you start feeling crowded, step into the back office and take a breather. I don't want you to force yourself to do anything," you tried to reassure her, as a grateful look crossed her features. "You're literally the best manager I've ever had," she squeezed your hand softly before letting go. You glanced over at the clock, your eyes widening in excitement "ITS OPENING TIMEEE," you cheered, running to the door to open up shop.

--------------------

The day was draining beyond belief, your last employee had finally left the shop. You didn't mind leaving the rest of tomorrow's preparation to yourself, it was your business after all. You smiled softly to yourself, proud to see the newly emptied shelves. Sneaking your favourite flavoured muffin from the case, you opened up the fridge and began to take out ingredients for the next day. "Thank God I don't have to make bread," you let out a quiet chuckle, reading through your custom baked goods list. "Fuck," you murmured, realizing you don't have the ingredients list for banana chocolate chip muffins. Figuring you must have left it in your office, you began to roam through the hallways of your work. Happily bouncing on your feet as you hummed to yourself. "when the moon hits your eyes," you sang, sliding open your office door "like a big pizza pie, that's amore." The door slid shut behind you as you noticed a lump on your couch. You could feel fright creeping up your spine, your heart thudding in your chest at a million miles a minute. You flickered on the light, preparing to fight this new intruder until you realized it was Christa. "Oh- Holy shit.. Chris, you scared the crap outta me," you let out a relieved laugh, beginning to walk over to the sleeping girl. "I'm surprised you're still here. Hell, I'm surprised you didn't run out after hearing my horrid singing."

Christa remained silent as you moved closer to her, realizing she must still be in a heavy sleep. "Hey, Chris, it's time to wake up," you put a hand on her shoulder, beginning to turn her over. "Chris..." You murmured, feeling your hand come in contact with something sticky. Once you fully turned her over, you noticed something protruding from her chest. "What the f-" your face dropped in terror as you realized your employee was not sleeping, but dead. She was fucking dead. To make things worse, your banana muffin recipe was attached to the knife that was stuck through your employee. In large, bold letters, the words "YOU'RE NEXT Y/N" was scribbled on the back of the recipe. "oh my god," your voice broke as your world began crashing in. Did he find you? You couldn't look at the note in Christa's chest any longer. You felt sick to your stomach, tears beginning to pour down your face as you broke into a sob. "I'm so sorry, Chris," your voice wavered as you took her hand into your own. "I will make sure that you get justice," you choked out as you reached for your phone, making the 911 call. Explaining the situation to the dispatcher, they told you to wait patiently on the scene and not to touch anything.

--------------------

The police finally arrived on scene, escorting you to the front of the store. You sat on the curb still in shock from what the hell just happened. You looked down at your blood-covered hands, feeling tears begin to resurface and run down your face. Who the hell would do this? Was it him? How did He find you so soon? You left him a couple of years back, how the hell is he here? "Excuse me, ma'am? My name is Detective Dan Espinoza, I'd like to ask you a few questions," you sniffled, feeling the pit in your stomach grow as you looked at him with terror-filled eyes. "I'm going to die, Dan," you came to the assuming conclusion that he found you. "How do you know this, ma'am?" Dan cocked an eyebrow, preparing to come to terms with the fact that he was dealing with another loony.

"Because I'm the reason Chris is dead," you said briefly, remembering that you can't blow your cover. "Would you like to elaborate on that? Or should I put you in cuffs right now since you clearly just confessed to murdering your employee." Dan's arrogant smile slid into a smirk as someone put a hand on Dan's shoulder. "Now, that's enough, Daniel. Leave the poor girl alone, she obviously isn't in a clear state of mind." A british voice broke the deafening silence as Dan let out a huff, walking away. A woman sat down beside you, looking at you with comforting eyes. "My name is Chloe Decker, this is my partner, Lucifer Morningstar. Can you tell me about everything that just happened?" Lucifer sat down to your right but you focused on Chloe, going over the details of what happened.

"I was singing that's amore, it's probably my favourite Dean Martin song. Mainly because I was craving pizza, but, that.. coming across that.. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat ever again," you could feel tears begin to flow down your face as the man beside you finally spoke up. "It's not fair for this to happen after such a wonderful day for you," you looked over at the man, gasping in fear and stumbling off the curb. You crawled onto the road, your heart thudding in your chest.

"Michael, no-" the man reached for you, pulling you off the road as a car whipped by. He stared at you, a look you couldn't read crossing his features. You stood there, shaking in his arms as Lucifer looked you in the eyes. "I'm not Michael," he reassured you, noticing your fear, "he's my twin brother," you relaxed slightly, sensing that the man was telling the truth. Mainly because his shoulders weren't slightly crooked but also because if it were Michael, he would have let you get hit by that car.

Chloe noticed the tension between the two of you, walking over to Dan to discuss more about the case. "How do you know my brother?" Lucifer let you go, the entire situation piquing his curiosity. "Yes but not quite well, we..." your heart thudded in your chest at a million miles a minute. Michael mentioned that his brother was impossible to run into. You knew you were standing in front of the devil, but what type of luck would it be that you would meet him after a week of being in Los Angeles.

You were stuck with a choice, to tell Lucifer the truth or to lie to him. You could feel chills run through your bones, this moment seemed to be going on for hours. But it was only a couple seconds after, "I met him in college." Lucifer cocked an eyebrow, tilting his face a little bit more. "College? Is that some sort of inneuendo that I haven't picked up on? Because if it is-" "No- No. I met him when I was in college. I saw him around campus. he was in a couple of my own classes," there was no possible way you could trust Lucifer. What if...

Lucifer saw right through your lie, but decided to play along. He looked you in the eyes, making sure to keep you close. "Well, Y/N, what is it that you truly desire? There must be something that you truly yearn," he leaned a little closer to you. You looked him in the eyes, feeling a pit begin to form in your stomach.

"My dearest Y/N, what is it that you truly fear?" "staying with you."

"Well, I..." you could feel that out in your stomach grow worse as you stepped away from him. "Sorry, I don't feel very good right now," you murmured, tears beginning to well in your eyes. You tried to put on a brave face, looking back at Lucifer. "I'm sorry, a lot is going on right now. I just want to catch Christa's killer," Lucifer's smirk quickly shifted into a shocked look. He glanced over at the detective before returning his gaze to you. "There isn't anything that you truly desire?" Lucifer questioned, causing you to tilt your head. "Not at the moment, I'm sorry," you spoke quietly, feeling frail and vulnerable.

No one could know the truth about who you are. No one.

Hey Dollface

Summary: The best surprise after a really long, hard day at work.

Warnings: Swearing

Word Count: 3086

Notes: For @bucky-smiles since they’ve had some hard times lately! It’s me, your Bucky anon haha. I just wanted to be really soft and writing Bucky for you really inspired me! I hope you like it :)

Tagging: @holy-captain

It’s a shit day. It’s a really, really shit day.

It all started with a burnt pancake, on Monday of all days. Pancakes are a Monday tradition you picked up from your mom, who always made them sprinkled with different fruits to give you a pick-me-up (because Mondays you know?). And you had never burned a pancake, not even the one you made alone at the tender age of seven.

You’re not the superstitious type, not really, but a burnt pancake spelled out trouble and you knew it. You were quick to toss the thing but not quick enough for the smoke detector. Its shrill shriek pierced the morning calm and you heard a clattering through the thin walls of your (mediocre on a good day) apartment. And you had winced when someone banged on your door, asking if you were okay. Of course, you had to answer them, meekly peeking from behind the door. Although they had taken it gracefully, it had already put a damper on your day, which really only got worse from there.

Cleaning the pancake and clearing the smoke detector debacle took up your morning, which meant you didn’t have breakfast. At all. Not even a grab and go banana. Instead, you went sprinting down and out, nearly running over your two floors down neighbor’s dog and getting a shouted earful about that. And of course it was drizzling, enough that an umbrella wasn’t going to keep you from getting uncomfortably damp. Your sneakers squish as you walk in the building, your co-workers wincing when they see you. Your best friend Wanda fusses over you for just a moment, trying to pat moisture out of your shirt.

“Really (Name), you’re such a mess today. I mean more than usual. Did someone get some,” She glances in both directions and whispers in your ear, “Action last night?”

You sputter, pushing her away gently. “Why would you think that?!” He’s not even home right now so it’s not like you could anyways.

She just giggles. “I’m kidding, kidding! Here.” You take the towel and try to dry your hair. You hate this because now you’re going to look like a puffball. “I made some of my famous soup today! For you and me and Natasha, so you’ll be warmed up before you know it.”

You heave a great sigh and drape yourself over her lap. “Oh Wanda, my love, what would I do without you?”

“Starve? Maybe suffer a soupless life?” You gasp, flinging your arm over your eyes. She just laughs again and pats you on the head before she sneaks back to her desk. You’re grateful she’s willing to suffer the wrath of the boss, who pushes productivity to the max.

You take a pause to check your phone before you move and light up when you see (1) message from Bucky.

BUCKY: Good morning beautiful BUCKY: Just wanted to remind you that you are the bestest, most awesome person in the world and you’re gonna rock your day!

You work a classic office job, the kind in weird half cubicles where the walls are too short to hide anything from anyone. Before you even start working you have to clear away all the sticky notes and remnants from last Friday when you had dragged yourself home after some overtime. When your workspace is adequately cleaned (or at least cleaned enough you aren’t knocking over things when you shift), you get to answering your emails.

Which of course, leads to another bad thing. The client was infuriated with the current status of the project. In his eyes, it should have been done a week and a half ago, when you know full well that this project isn’t going to be done for another week if not two. It’s an intense request that just takes time and you’re already doing your best, putting in the overtime to try and reach his ridiculous goals. Heinrich Zemo really needs someone to knock him down a peg and you might just be the person to do it if you ever meet him in person.

So begins the back and forth emailing between you two, filled to the brim with polite fuck you’s. And since he seems to zing back mail at the speed of light, you can’t even work on anything else you’re supposed to, like the design blueprints for Natasha or the business plan outline for Sam. And they’re shooting you little looks because they kind of need that stuff for the next steps of their own projects. Sympathetic looks but looks just the same. And it makes you burn with frustration because you want to get it done, you want to be productive but you just. Can’t.

In between your phone keeps pinging with messages from Bucky, which is the only reason why you survive this entire frustrating situation.

BUCKY: i love your fashion sense. It’s so chic and sleek and ugh, so perfect for you

BUCKY: can’t wait to dance with you again darling! Hope you’re ready to try some tango this time ;)

BUCKY: do you want s’mores pie or banana cream? i’m thinking s’mores because y’know, chocolate. marshmallows. what’s not to love?

BUCKY: next date at the flower garden? we can have a picnic!

BUCKY: holy shit I am so ready for blueberry season again. I know it’s a while away but ugh, I really want some right now :(

BUCKY: you got this babe! I believe in you!

BUCKY: do you want to get Chinese or Italian when I see you again? I’m feeling a strong Chinese vibe. YOU: Chinese BUCKY: that’s my girl

The morning is a blur of pent up anger that ends with you squishing the ever loving shit out of a pumpkin plush, a desk leftover from Halloween. You’re half surprised the thing doesn’t pop under the pressure but you feel bad, placing it back down and patting it. Finally Zemo shuts up and you’re left with fifteen minutes before lunch, which really isn’t time to start anything for work. Instead, you bring out your white bound planner, a bullet journal you’ve been steadily working on, and start to build the next month. End of the month means needing to prep all the pages for February, and you sigh as you stare lovingly at your collection of pens just for this. They’re all absolutely lovely, shades that you adore and a quality that can’t be beat. You mill briefly, deciding between a pastel and a hard pink. The pastel wins out of course and you smooth out the page, already covered in neat pen lines from last night. You begin to fill in banners and hearts and…

Just your goddamn luck your pen starts to fizzle out. Which really sucks because these puppies are not cheap in the slightest. You growl and thunk your head on the desk, making Sam snicker.

“Not your day?”

“Not now Wilson.”

“Aw, c’mon. I’m pretty sure there’s something good in your horoscope for today.” He’s teasing you now for sure. He’s not even into horoscopes, not even as a joke. You turn your head enough to give him your darkest stink eye, which just makes him grin wider. He pats your shoulder and slides over some chocolates, dark like you like it. You huff and your hands come up to open the blue foil, fumbling a bit before popping it in your mouth.

Your phone pings and you glance at it with dull eyes. Sam can visibly see them getting their spark back though and he can guess who’s messaged.

(1) message from Bucky

BUCKY: hey sweetheart, just wanted to tell you that you’re my favorite girl and it’s lunch time! I made myself a sandwich today, look! BUCKY: (1 photo attached)

YOU: why’s it so full? it’s practically bursting! YOU: if you take a bite you’re gonna spill everything out of the bread

BUCKY: hey! rude! >:( BUCKY: I’ll have you know I am a sandwich expert and it will not spill everywhere

YOU: sure it won’t babe ;)

BUCKY: >:T

“(Name)!!” Wanda comes bursting back in, holding up a thermos for you to see. It does brighten up your day, especially when Natasha pops up right after with a box of sandwiches from the best deli on the block. She even got you extra fries. God your friends are so good.

At least lunch passes without any scruples. You don’t spill any of Wanda’s spicy and absolutely delicious soup and you don’t drip any mayo on your blouse from the sandwich. There’s a close call with some ketchup for the fries but it lands next to your leg instead of on it.

“Absolutely not. How dare you even assume Eliza has a chance?” Natasha jabs a fry in your direction.

“Well it’s better than Martha! Did you see her bedroom eyes at him? And he just straight up ignored her!” Wanda throws her hands up in frustration. “Honestly, does this guy even like any of the contestants? It’s like he has the stiffest face in the world.”

You shrug, thoughtfully munching for a moment. “I just think Eliza’s nice y’know? She’s sweet and she’s not pushy, which I mean. It’s probably not great for ratings but Nick hasn’t eliminated her yet so that has to count for something right?”

“Nuh-uh! Angelica’s a favorite here. Did you see how he was laughing on their fake date? I can tell flirting when I see it. And she’s a real firecracker type, which means she’s definitely there to spice up his life if you know what I mean~” Natasha wiggles her eyebrows and you snort, nearly choking on your ice tea.

“Y’all are crazy! It’s definitely gotta be Delanie! Cute, small, hips fit real well.” Sam runs his hands in the same, also wiggling his eyebrows. “And did you see how he was watching her when she was talking about her family? How she wanted a cute little wedding like her parents? That’s a catch.”

You sigh and put your head in your hands. “It’s so artificial though. Like I know all this is scripted and framed and stuff so like, what does it matter? I’d want something real.”

“You sound really dreamy there (name). Got some embarrassing sappy things you want to say to us?” Wanda has her face pressed up to yours and you blush, pushing her away again. Wanda’s really dangerous like that, able to sniff out feelings and stories just like that.

“No! Shut your smug little faces.” All three have taken on that look that you know oh so well. You shovel another few fries in your face and then shut the empty container. Around a mouthful of the dry potatoes, you mumble, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some outlines and blueprints to work on.”

How is this day not already over? Honestly it feels like it’s been an eternity.

Your phone pings with a message. Steve, inviting you to a Monday movie night. Since movies are cheap as hell, Steve likes to visit the theaters often and see what the new thing is. Not surprising given his theatrical/acting/film study obsession.

STEVE: Movie night?

YOU: what movie?

STEVE: Cats (2019) STEVE: I know, I know I just really want to see it. It’s so interesting, the CGI work!

YOU: i dont really want to pay money to see that though YOU: like its YOU: so weird YOU: and like not YOU: i dunno i just don’t really want to see it

STEVE: :( STEVE: C’mon, it’ll be fun! We’ll get caramel corn.

YOU: ooooh tempting me YOU: but no i think imma go home and like wine night it YOU: its been a long day :/

STEVE: Ouch. Well it’s the same place as usual, 6 PM if you wanna come.

YOU: probs not but thanks anyways

STEVE: :)

You plug in your headphones and scroll through your music, settling for some chilled out tunes to slowly progress through the dense documents you have to read before you can properly plan out Sam’s thing. It sucks because you can already feel a headache starting to bud and you have to stop periodically to press on your eyes. You also frequently get up to get water, which means you’re also going to the bathroom a lot and today’s productivity has just slam dunked down the drain. To compensate for not doing literally any work in the morning (gee, thanks Zemo), you put in some overtime hours, which means you’re definitely movie night. You don’t even leave the office until your eyes are burning with the strain of staring at a screen for seven or so hours. You stumble out and rub your eyes, yawning and stretching, trying to get some of the tension out of your shoulders.

(1) message from Bucky

BUCKY: have you been at work this whole time? Damn girl BUCKY: the grind never stops💪

YOU: i wish it did YOU: ugh i’m so tired :(

BUCKY: well you’re almost home right? BUCKY: im sure there’s something good waiting for you at home BUCKY: like dinner! what are you thinking today?

You don’t even know what you’re going to do for dinner, but you’ll deal with that when you get home. At worst you have some cheap instant noodle thing that you can spice up with some eggs. It’s still dreary out and it feels like rain in your skin so you almost sprint home, sticking to the well-lit areas because you are not in the mood to punch a mugger in the nose.

You stop by the corner store though and buy yourself two bottles of wine. You buy something that’s nice, indulging a little. Or you try to anyways, when you discover you left your ID at home. You groan in frustration and instead grab some peach-mango juice and a bag of BBQ chips, hovering momentarily over the big blocks of cheese. You really could just use one to bite into, but you refrain, knowing you have shredded cheese at home, and you can just eat that with a spoon.

Trudging up the stairs, you nearly kick the dog again because it comes shooting around the corner of the stairs. As it is, you end up swerving and kicking the wall which makes you drop your grocery goods and you just.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

You gather the groceries in your arms again and make it finally to your apartment, nearly staggering into the door. You fumble with the keys, missing the lock a few times before jamming it in and twisting. You’re ready to collapse on the couch and chug your juice straight from the gallon container but you don’t because when you lift your eyes up from the ground, you’re met with the bestest, sweetest, slightly crooked smile in the world.

“Bucky!” You drop everything and full body launch yourself at him, nearly tipping him over. Whatever he says about being strong and sturdy, you’re a force to be reckoned with and you snuggle your face up against his neck, breathing in the pine needle and wood smoke scent he has. “I thought you weren’t going to be back for another week!”

“Decided to surprise you doll face.” He peppers your cheeks with kisses, and you can’t help the giggle that bubbles out of you. His lips are so warm against your chilled skin and you try your best to catch them against yours.

He hefts you up a bit so you’re almost sitting on his hip. He bends down to get the fallen chips and you squeal, tightening your hold on his neck. He fakes a choking sound and you loosen a little, feeling him smile against your cheeks.

“You’re so prickly.” Your fingers run along his jawline that’s covered in stubble.

You can feel his laugh, from his chest where you’re pressed. “Sorry pumpkin, I didn’t have a lot of time between there and here.” He stands back up again and you shriek again, burying your face at the sudden moment. “Sounds like you’re still full of energy though.”

“Noooo. I’m really tired Bucky, I had a hard day at work. I’ve had a hard day all dayyyyy.” You turn with a pout, which makes him kiss your puffed cheeks. His eyes sparkle with mirth and you feel like the entire day has completely melted away.

He carries you to the couch, depositing you in front of some of your favorite Chinese take-out. The smell alone makes you wanna drool and you lean forward to take a big, deep breath. “You are a god send.” He waives it out with another full belly laugh, handing you a pair of chopsticks. He got your favorite dumplings and sour-spicy soup and of course, shrimp lo mien. You practically inhale the food. “It’s so good babe, oh my god. I have been revived from the dead.” He flicks on the TV, finding some movie marathon. It sounds like Harry Potter but you’re way to invested in the food in front of you.

It makes you feel so overwhelmingly warm to have him home again after being away for so long. Soon enough, the empty cartons are abandoned on the table and you’re curled up against his side, exhaustion seeping into your warm, full body. Bucky’s got his arm around you, gently playing with the hair that curls by your neck. He’s telling a story, something about how he had found an adorable kitten at work who had clung to his shoulder all day. His voice runs over you like honey tea, so warm and comforting. You have his other hand in your own hands, tracing the scars that lace over his knuckles and across his palm. Everyone your fingers cover, you follow with kisses.

“I love you.” You yawn in the middle, but he just leans over to kiss your forehead, simultaneously pulling over the blanket from the edge of the couch towards you. It’s your favorite blanket, and it definitely wasn’t on the couch this morning. God he’s so sweet.

“I love you too (name).” He gives you another forehead kiss and begins to play with your hair, which you almost purr at. This is it, this is peak comfort. You grip his shirt tightly, slightly worried this is just some fever dream you’re having at being so tired. “Tell me about your day. Don’t leave out a single detail!”

“Mm, well it started with a burnt pancake…”

Whether you’re hoping for a small group hang, or a dinner with two other people in a nice backyard, use this guide to find your ideal outdoor birthday situation for 2020.

Want to quickly find restaurants on the go? Download The Infatuation app. Featured In The Socially Distant NYC Summer Guide Get all the guides The Spots Belle Harlem $ $ $ $ American in Harlem $$$$ 2363 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd

A birthday dinner at Belle will feel a lot like hiring a chef to prepare a private dinner for you and your friends. They’ve got a few sidewalk tables out front and the owners do most of the cooking themselves. Expect to eat things like chicken and waffles with jalapeno truffle banana syrup, cheese steak crostinis, and a piece of black sea bass cooked in herbs from the restaurant’s rooftop garden.

Kate Previte Llama San $ $ $ $ Japanese , Peruvian in West Village $$$$ 359 Avenue of the Americas

Llama San smells like palo santo and has a new garden patio where you can actually hear whoever you’re sitting across from on your birthday. It’s a great option if you want something upscale but not too stuffy, and their Japanese-Peruvian dishes, like Iberico pork tonkatsu or the fried rice with octopus, mussels, and crab, are like nothing else you’ll find in the city.

Noah Devereaux Llama Inn $ $ $ $ Peruvian in Williamsburg $$$$ 50 Withers St

If you’re in Brooklyn, you can also head to the Llama team’s other restaurant in Williamsburg and eat some slightly more straightforward Peruvian food on your birthday. Llama Inn’s rooftop has more macrame wall hangings, throw pillows, and textile rugs than an Urban Outfitters ad, which makes it ideal for an intimate dinner with the co-owner of your cats. But there’s more space for small groups on their sidewalk patio, which is essentially a giant triangular peninsula.

Noah Devereaux Loreley Restaurant & Biergarten $ $ $ $ German in Lower East Side $$$$ 7 Rivington St

If you’re looking for somewhere in Lower Manhattan you can reserve ahead of time, consider this beer garden on the LES. You can email [email protected] to book an outdoor table for between six and ten people. As a bonus, Loreley has Happy Hour until 10pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday, and until 7pm on Wednesday and Thursday.

Noah Devereaux Union Square Cafe $ $ $ $ American in Union Square $$$$ 101 E. 19th St.

Curbside tables covered in white tablecloths, still life art prints plastered on phone booths, fiddle-leaf fig trees, and string lights - this is the scene outside at Union Square Cafe right now. This classic New York City restaurant is serving burgers, pastas, and desserts on its huge curbside patio, and like a good sports blazer, you can use it for both a casual or formal birthday dinner. Reservations are still extremely hard to come by for dinner, but you may have better luck during lunch service on weekends.

Noah Devereaux Olmsted $ $ $ $ American in Prospect Heights $$$$ 659 Vanderbilt Ave

This Prospect Heights spot has turned its backyard into “Olmsted Summer Camp,” where you can eat things like wagyu beef corn dogs, dill pickled fried chicken, and tonkatsu ribs under a galaxy of string lights and rainbow-colored flag garlands. So you might as well reserve a picnic table or a two-top on their sidewalk and take full advantage of this upscale picnic pop-up at one of the best outdoor American restaurants in Brooklyn.

Noah Devereaux Saraghina $ $ $ $ Pizza , Italian in Bedford-Stuyvesant , Brooklyn $$$$ 435 Halsey St

Saraghina is great if you want a sit-down dinner outside that’s intimate enough to hear your friends shower you with birthday compliments and affection. This mostly-pizza place is relaxed about special requests (Keira really likes the pizza that comes with spicy salami but she’s a vegetarian so she needs it on the side), they’re fine with you hanging out for a while at your table, and everything is shareable.

Teddy Wolff Kochi $ $ $ $ Korean in Hell's Kitchen , Midtown $$$$ 652 10th Ave

If you’re looking for a birthday dinner spot that says, “I’m aging and I’m proud!” go for the seven-course tasting menu at Kochi. You’ll have a bunch of grilled skewers involving things like smoked mackerel, beef ribeye, and pork belly at this upscale Korean spot, and they’ll all make you want to eat things on a stick more often. Rain or shine, Kochi’s covered Hell’s Kitchen patio is exactly where you should head for a celebratory meal.

Night of Joy $ $ $ $ Williamsburg $$$$ 667 Lorimer St

Having a birthday party at Night Of Joy is usually a good idea any year, but the big rooftop makes it an excellent choice during 2020. Get to this cocktail bar early, find a table, and discuss how birthdays don’t count this year.

Noah Devereaux Wayla $ $ $ $ Thai in Lower East Side $$$$ 100 Forsyth St

To be honest, getting a table in Wayla’s backyard for your birthday dinner is going to take Beyonce-intensity hard work and dedication. But if you can manage it, you’re in for a Thai meal that’ll have you dreaming of lobster noodles, noodle-wrapped meatballs, and whole fried branzino with the middle pre-cut and fried into hunks with mint and shallots on top for days. While the patio here is perfect, Wayla also has a curbside seating available for walk-ins.

Kate Previte Casa Enrique $ $ $ $ Mexican in Long Island City , Queens $$$$ 5-48 49th Ave.

Casa Enrique makes some of the best Mexican food in NYC. And their new outdoor patio is huge, partially-covered, and a great option if you’re trying to keep things somewhat casual for your birthday this year. You can start your meal with a mezcal cocktail, then move on to some enchiladas or fish tacos, but whatever you do, order their tres leches cake - this is a celebration after all.

Noah Devereaux Royale $ $ $ $ Bar Food , Burgers in East Village $$$$ 157 Avenue C

If it weren’t for the excellent burger and the patio space, Royale would just be another East Village sports bar where people watch sweaty people running around on TV. But those two factors make Royale a good place to spend an afternoon or evening outside, especially for a low-maintenance birthday. The backyard doesn’t get too rowdy, the burger is consistently great, and the pickle-backs come with a piece of bacon. Email [email protected] for details about setting up a private reservation.

Noah Devereaux Lilia $ $ $ $ Italian in Williamsburg $$$$ 567 Union Avenue

While incredibly hard to book, we guarantee that you won’t regret sitting at one of Lilia’s outdoor tables and eating sheep milk filled agnolotti on your birthday. This Williamsburg Italian spot has a bunch of new sidewalk seating, giving you plenty of room to eat your cacio e pepe frittelle in peace without feeling like the diners right next to you are watching your every bite.

Noah Devereaux Freehold $ $ $ $ Bar Food , Cafe/Bakery in Williamsburg $$$$ 45 S 3rd St

Aside from McCarren Park and the literal East River, Freehold’s outdoor space is one of the largest in Williamsburg. Their courtyard is open every day from 9am to 11pm, and until 1am on Friday and Saturday nights. There’s a little balcony area above the giant backyard bar, which is available for rent if you’d like to make things feel more like your personal party kingdom while still being able to look out at the activity below. They encourage reservations, which you can make here.

City Vineyard $ $ $ $ American , Bar Food in Tribeca $$$$ 233 West St

This Flatiron spot has outdoor seating in its garden and up on its rooftop with plenty of tables where you can meet up with friends and drink some wine along the Hudson River. The food is all pretty simple (think lobster rolls, tacos, and oysters), but you’re really here to drink wine or frosé and take in the views before it gets too cold out.

Noah Devereaux Sycamore Flower Shop + Bar $ $ $ $ Ditmas Park $$$$ 1118 Cortelyou Rd

Sycamore has a great garden backyard with string lights, a bunch of picnic tables, and some pine trees (possibly the only ones in NYC when it’s not Christmas). The front of this bar is a fully-operating flower shop during the day, which is both adorable and useless. Come day or night, bring a pizza if you want, and it’ll feel like your own personal oasis in Ditmars Park. Also - they run a Happy Hour on weekdays between 3pm and 7pm, and weekends from 1pm to 4pm.

L' Antagoniste $$$$ 238 Malcolm X Boulevard

If you’re planning a socially distant special occasion soon, like an intimate birthday dinner or a solo celebration in honor of your trumpet-playing roommate’s return to his family’s farm in Kansas, try L’Antagoniste. It’s a somewhat pricey French spot with a big garden patio where you can eat wagyu beef steak tartare and duck à l’orange by candlelight.

Adam Friedlander Hometown Bar-B-Que $ $ $ $ BBQ in Brooklyn , Red Hook $$$$ 454 Van Brunt St.

Here’s a great way to spend your birthday: eat the best BBQ in the city. If ridiculously good brisket and beef ribs aren’t enough, then head to Steve’s for chocolate-covered key lime pie on a stick for dessert.

NYC Guide: Where To Eat Outside In Red Hook Read I Sodi $ $ $ $ Pasta , Italian in West Village $$$$ 105 Christopher St.

If your happy place is your future retirement estate in Tuscany - or really anywhere it would be acceptable to live on a diet of pasta alone - have your big dinner at I Sodi. Gone are the days of sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers along the bar at this West Village spot. Now, you can comfortably eat the very best Italian food in the city on a quiet block in the West Village without bumping a stranger when reaching for your wine.

Noah Devereaux Harlem Tavern $ $ $ $ Harlem $$$$ 2153 Frederick Douglass Blvd

If you’re planning an outdoor birthday gathering uptown, default to Harlem Tavern. The food is better than your average bar food (with a solid burger), but the reason to come here is the giant front patio. There’s tons of space, and covered tables in case it rains.

Andrew Bui Ernesto's $$$$ 259 E Broadway

Maybe you just want to eat a bunch of Spanish snacks and drink wine all night on your birthday. Sure, you could do it at home, but then you’d miss out on incredible small plates, like duck-stuff peppers and potato chip tower lovingly draped in iberico ham at Ernesto’s. This LES Basque spot has several small tables spaced out along its sidewalk and you should keep it in mind for a casual, cool birthday dinner in the area.

Noah Devereaux Sally Roots $ $ $ $ Caribbean in Brooklyn , Bushwick $$$$ 195 Wyckoff Ave

Sally Roots is one of our favorite places in Bushwick that’s a good compromise if you want a high-key birthday party but have to face the reality that it won’t happen this year. Their backyard has loud music, flowering plants, and tropical rum cocktails galore. But the main appeal is that you’ll get to have a great meal with the people who know about your unfortunate middle name. The food itself is Caribbean (we like the tostones with garlic sauce and salmon main the best) and everything on the menu costs less than $20. They’ll let you make a reservation if you’re five or more - email [email protected] for details.

Noah Devereaux Greenwood Park $ $ $ $ Bar Food in Park Slope $$$$ 555 7th Ave

Looking for a daytime beer-filled birthday?This South Slope beer garden has enough space to conceivably play a game of hide and-seek. Although, unfortunately, you should remain at your table during the duration of your birthday outing. In addition to a huge menu of beer, there’s some solid bar food and a quaint string-light setup. Greenwood Park accepts reservations for parties up to 10 people, and you can book your table on Resy.

Noah Devereaux Roberta's $ $ $ $ Pizza in Brooklyn , Bushwick $$$$ 261 Moore St.

Roberta’s has nearly twice as much picnic table seating on their giant patio as they do in the actual restaurant. The outdoor space has its own bar and the atmosphere feels like a park where everyone eats the same, excellent Neapolitan-style pizza.

Ryan Muir Lavender Lake $ $ $ $ American in Brooklyn , Gowanus $$$$ 383 Carroll St.

Lavender Lake is offering first come, first served tables with a maximum of eight people. That doesn’t count dogs, which you should feel free to bring with you. Everyone knows that Labradors make parties better. When it gets to the point in the party when you want to fill your table with snacks, order several soft pretzels, hot dogs, and spicy calamari.

Noah Devereaux Diamond Reef $ $ $ $ Bedford-Stuyvesant , Brooklyn $$$$ 1057 Atlantic Ave

Diamond Reef understands that any good summer birthday party requires great music, alcoholic slushies with umbrellas in them, an indoor-outdoor space (because people get antsy and sweaty), and string lights that come on once it gets dark. They currently have first come, first served tables with a maximum party size of six people.

Noah Devereaux Nowadays $ $ $ $ Queens , Ridgewood $$$$ 56-06 Cooper Ave

If you’re looking for an outdoor birthday party with a 2020-approved activity already baked in, this giant outdoor bar in Bushwick is showing music-themed films every Tuesday and Wednesday night for $10 per person. If you’d rather come on a non-movie night, know that Nowadays also has a food truck with Japanese snacks like wagyu burgers, pork katsu sandwiches, and cucumber salads. The only catch is that you have to make a reservation ahead of time (which you can do here).

Ryan Muir The Jeffrey $ $ $ $ Bar Food in Upper East Side $$$$ 311 E. 60th St.

The Jeffrey was the spot for a big outdoor birthday when it opened in 2014 and we feel confident that it will remain useful as long as people are into drinking beer (specifically the craft variety) outside in the sun. This is a good choice for a relaxed birthday hang, especially for the neighborhood (Midtown-adjacent).

Noah Devereaux Azul at Hotel Hugo $ $ $ $ West Village $$$$ 525 Greenwich St

Azul is one of the less-sceney, more tolerable rooftops in Lower Manhattan. So invite a bunch of friends to hang out on some couches while you drink Cuban-ish cocktails and snacks, and look out at the Hudson. You can email [email protected] for reservations ahead of time (the minimum for reservations is six people, and the maximum is ten).

Noah Devereaux Sugar Freak $ $ $ $ Southern in Astoria $$$$ 37-11 30th Ave

Sugar Freak feels like a New Orleans-themed party, with lots of big groups drinking strong draft cocktails and sharing crawfish boils in a loud space with beads hanging from the light fixtures. The party doesn’t quite spill into the streets like in New Orleans, but they do have a bunch of picnic tables in a big seating area on the sidewalk out front.

The one draw back is that, like a typical resort, the rooms are fairly small. However they do provide a buffet breakfast each morning, and boast a pool and sizzling tub!

BREAKFAST/LUNCH

59 CAUSEWAY: Our new favourite breakfast place in Ocean Isle! 59 Causeway is situated proper alongside the canal with a tremendous view and affords all kinds of bagels, cream cheeses and breakfast choices like cinnamon buns and donuts.

Take a look at the “cake fridge” whenever you stroll within the door – there are tons of various sorts, all mouthwatering.

OIB SURF AND JAVA: Situated throughout the bridge, OIB Surf and Java is well worth the drive in case you are a real coffee-lover. Half surf store and half espresso store, they provide nearly each espresso drink possible (critically, simply check out their menu), in addition to baked items like their well-known monkey bread.

How to talk to your family at Thanksgiving without all deciding you hate each other It's been quite a year, folks. There was the shocking election, followed by the daily matinees from the White House circus, including incompetent appointments to crucial government posts. There were hurricanes, floods and fires. Domestic and foreign terrorism. Revelations of high-profile sexual harassment and abuse. And all of these things, miraculously, were politically charged. Meanwhile, President Trump's approval rating is the lowest of any president since modern polling began. We've heard his own appointee call him a moron and his own party members decry him as "disgraceful" and "childish." But remember: There are millions and millions of people who still support him. Odds are that even if you're a diehard Democrat, you're going to be shoveling pie with the inevitable Trump fan in your family today. Here's a guide to topics you'll want to avoid over the holidays to help you keep peace within your family just until you've digested enough to drive home. I've also provided examples of statements you don't want to make, as well as some handy, utterly innocuous phrases you can use to defuse the situation if these subjects are unfortunately broached — say, by a "snowflake," "libtard" nephew. Off-the-table topic: Confederate statues Unwise utterance: Aunt Fran, I see you finally pulled up the shag carpet in the parlor. I mean, it was odious, but I can't say I condone this sort of revisionist history. WHERE DOES IT END?! Replace with: Place looks nice. Off-the-table topic: Climate change Unwise utterance: If anyone's asking, I'd like a rowboat for Christmas. Thanks to unprecedented atmospheric events, I'm fixing to have beachfront property by next August. Replace with: Nice weather we're having. Off-the-table topic: NFL boycott Unwise utterance: No, I can't stay for the Redskins game. As I get older, I find the combination of racist mascots, misguided patriotism, and the promise of CTE triggers my acid reflux. Replace with: How 'bout them Knicks? Off-the-table topic: Gun control Unwise utterance: While we're saying grace, can we throw in a couple thoughts 'n' prayers that Congress will pull its head out of the NRA's buttstock? Replace with: Amen. Off-the-table topic: Election meddling Unwise utterance: Mom, you said you'd never serve canned cranberry sauce. I'm kind of shocked. Did Putin hack into the menu? What's going on here?? Replace with: Please pass the yams. Off-the-table topic: Legalization of marijuana Unwise utterance: You're all going to love the pecan pie I made. It's infused with cannabis butter. Has anyone tried Banana Kush? Relaxing, but you stay chatty and social. For example, I'm high right now. Replace with: ... How's your glaucoma, Grandma? Happy Thanksgiving — and good luck! November 23, 2017 at 12:38PM

Which NFL player would you name a food after?

It’s the offseason and we’re hungry.

Sports and food are two of the best things in the world. When you combine the names of NFL players with meals, you have a delicious and well-named masterpiece.

SugarFire Smokehouse in St. Louis recently unveiled a burger called the “Reuben Foster.” It is a house burger, with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut hash, pastrami, caramelized onion, and a special sauce. Sounds good, right?

The burger inspired us to make our own creations, naming them after various NFL players, coaches, and even mascots. We apologize in advance for the appetite you’re about to have after reading this post.

Aaron Rodgers: Dairy-free “Kale Mary” smoothie

A year ago, Rodgers fessed up to the biggest cardinal sin any Wisconsinite can commit: He cut dairy from his diet. At the time, he said he did for his health reasons, and his new diet — "more of a vegan diet with some red meat at times and some chicken" — sounded obnoxiously Tom Brady-esque.

Recently, Rodgers clarified that “irritable bowels” is why he really went dairy-free. And man, that stinks for him, but is also a valid reason. No one wants the constant tummy rumbles or runs to the bathroom (or scatological jokes at your expense).

Rodgers’ commitment to watching what he eats as he enters his mid-30s is admirable, though. So let him have his kale and eat it too: add some almond milk, a couple of fruits and vegetables, NFL-regulated protein powder, and voila, the Hail Mary king has his own belly-friendly smoothie.

Matt Ryan: Matty Ice light beer

It’s safe to assume the Falcons quarterback could use a beer after what was a rough Super Bowl LI loss. So what better than a Matty Ice? It’s cool, crisp, and aged a long and painful 25 weeks to perfection.

Tyrann Mathieu: Honey Badger honey cake

Mathieu got his Honey Badger nickname from the animal. Honey badgers are mean as hell and they’ll eat anything. They’re true omnivores. Its formal name, mellivora capensis, means “honey eater of the Cape,” meaning the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. We also think that Mathieu wouldn’t mind being the eater of the cake that we’re naming after him.

J.J. Watt: 99-Watt energy drink

Watts are a unit of power, and Watt is an explosive and energetic player out on the football field, whether you find it to be genuine or not.

Watt’s drink would be made out of the most ridiculous and stereotypical ingredients that any meathead would have in his smoothie/drink/shake. Raw eggs (with the shells), any mixture of fruit and vegetables, all while being chugged straight out of the blender.

Ezekiel Elliott: Cinnamon Toast Crunch “Feed me” fried ice cream

We know Zeke loves cereal:

Like, probably more than you love your kids:

And we know Cinnamon Toast Crunch has been one of his favorites for years:

Should I eat frosted flakes , fruit loops, or cinnamon toast crunch???

— Ezekiel Elliott (@EzekielElliott) February 5, 2014

No one is ever too old to enjoy a lil CT Crunch, but at a certain age, it becomes less acceptable to chow down on it in public. There’s an easy fix for that, and it’s very Texas: fry it, add some ice cream, and sell it at a food truck.

Myles Garrett: “Myles to go before I sheep” taco

Hopefully Garrett gets the opportunity to open his own Fuego Tortilla Grill franchise in Cleveland. Not only would it be the first location in the Midwest, it’d be Fuego’s first location outside of Texas. And such a milestone deserves its own signature dish. The fresh home-made flour tortilla, chipotle cream corn, and pico de gallo can stay, but Garrett earns the right to be the namesake for Fuego’s lamb taco debut.

Alex Mack: Mackaroni and cheese

Much like the Falcons’ center is the best player along Atlanta’s offensive line, macaroni and cheese is a dependable comfort food. Enjoy it with a nice, cold Matty Ice.

Drew Brees: Dink and Dunkin’ Donut

The Saints’ quarterback is a budding restauranteur, and he’s part of an effort to bring 69 Dunkin’ Donuts stores to Louisiana, which is nice. It’s only fitting that one of the donuts they offer would be named after the guy who brought home the Lombardi Trophy after the 2009 season.

Tom Brady: Super Bowl MVPizza

The closest thing Brady has had to an arch-rival in his unparalleled NFL career is Peyton Manning, a man who brought 30 Papa John’s shops to Denver when he left Indianapolis. Based on their final Super Bowl ring counts, Brady is destined to open 75 of his own gross, artisanal, vegan, gluten-free pizza chains throughout New England.

We already know the four-time Super Bowl MVP marks out for avocado ice cream and has never tasted a strawberry in his life. Brady’s pizza would have the kind of health benefits that allows 39-year-old men to post MVP-caliber seasons. It would also taste like lawn clippings sprinkled over Saltines.

Rob Gronkowski: Gronk’s MonsterClear Brotein shake

Bro. Bro

The perfect way to cool down after a workout and pre-game at the same time is a protein shake mixed with Monster and Everclear.

Glen Coffee: Coffee Americano

His item can’t just be some coffee. And it needs to be stronger than a Caffe Americano. Sure, both will energize you and give you a jumpstart to your day, but Glen’s Coffee Americano would give you more than that, with an extra shot of espresso ... and patriotism.

Coffee retired from the NFL to join the U.S. Army to become a paratrooper. His extra espresso drink will give you the same motivation to do something of greater meaning, as well as the energy to kick some butt while doing it.

Now, he’s making a comeback. Time for some shots!

Andrew Luck: Luck of the Irish oatmeal

It should be no surprise that Andrew Luck is a big fan of oatmeal. Sure, it sounds like it’s the breakfast equivalent of going to the dentist, but that’s only to those too unrefined to realize just how versatile and flavorful oatmeal can be.

But Luck knows. From a 2013 interview with The Indianapolis Star:

Q: You're a sponsor of Quaker Oats. Do you have a favorite oatmeal recipe?

A: "I eat a lot of oatmeal anyway. But every morning, I get an omelet and I get fruit, oatmeal and I put yogurt on my oatmeal, which is sort of weird. But there is this recipe I like with honey roasted maple pecans, bananas (on oatmeal) and that's pretty good. But I don't do that every day. It's too much to do on a daily (basis)."

Now that’s a savory — and healthy — start to the day. Oatmeal will never be the sexiest meal, but whether you use quick, rolled, or steel-cut (aka Irish) oats, it’s always one of the most reliable.

Ben Roethlisberger: Big Bean soup

What, you were thinking a burger? Cliche. Soup isn’t just great, but it also helps you feel better when you’re dealing with the aches and pains of a bad cold. Roethlisberger knows a little bit about aches; he’s missed five starts the past two seasons while playing through injury in the back halves of each year.

Bill O’Brien: Potatoes O’Brien breakfast taco

Breakfast tacos don’t have to be complicated, but the best ones usually offer more than just eggs, cheese, and a tortilla. Bacon, chorizo, brisket, beans if you’re vegetarian, or all of the above if you’re really not; avocado if you don’t want to buy a house one day; and, of course, potatoes.

Throw in some diced peppers and onions, and those potatoes suddenly become Potatoes O’Brien. If that all sounds messy, then it’s perfect for Bill O’Brien. Just look at the quarterback situations he’s had to deal with since becoming the Texans’ head coach.

Vince Wilfork: Wilforkin’ Good Ribs

We’ll let Wilfork explain this one:

Bust a move, barbecue style. You better join me + @Kingsford and #StandWithRibs #Sponsored http://pic.twitter.com/8sn0EdLgFR

— Vince Wilfork (@wilfork75) May 17, 2017

Kirk Cousins: “You Like That?” Early Bird Special

Kirk Cousins used to drive his grandma’s conversion van to his job with the Washington football team and park it among the BMWs and Bentleys. He also thinks staying up until 10:30 is “late.”

It only seems fitting that he’d have an early bird special named after him. Cousins would most certainly like that.

Blue, the Colts mascot: Blue’s berry pie

There’s nothing quite like a wholesome blueberry pie. Blue is arguably the best mascot in the NFL, and might be inclined to throw that pie in your face.

It’s better than him humping it, though.
