Readers' Choice: Where's the Best Place to Dine Outdoors?
St. Charles, Batavia and Geneva have wonderful opportunities to sit outside and enjoy the weather, the wine, the coffee or the cuisine. Which will be chosen as best in the 2012 Patch Readers' Choice Awards?
We're putting out an all-points bulletin for Al Fresco. Is Al Fresco in the house?
Of course not. Al fresco is outside. That's where you'll find the most relaxing and romantic places to dine or talk over a glass of wine, an ice cream cone, gelato or cup of espresso.
Years ago, a friend mentioned how much the Tri-Cities reminded him of Europe. The river views, the shops, the beautiful outdoor cafes and restaurants.
