In many New York City buildings, it has become the norm to install a gas grill in the courtyard or roof deck to bring a taste (no pun intended) of suburbia to the big city at the height of barbecue season. However, some developers have taken it one step further with outdoor kitchens outfitted with prep areas, sinks, and/or mini-fridges; still others have added bells and whistles like smokers, pizza ovens, and other items that only the most diehard gourmands are likely to keep in their apartments.
Designer Lindy Lowney tells Architectural Digest that the difference between simple grill setups and outdoor kitchens is that "an outdoor kitchen is not only a natural extension of indoor living, but it also allows for hosting a larger gathering." That is certainly the case with these new developments' outdoor kitchens – they are situated in the buildings' courtyard or roof terraces, allowing residents to entertain large groups and enjoy beautiful views.

25 Broad Street, a New York City Landmark that is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was originally constructed in 1902 as an office building that benefited from its close proximity to the New York Stock Exchange. In its current incarnation as a residential building, the expansive roof terrace is a leisure destination with grilling stations, outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, and enough room for separate dining, play, and lounge areas.

The apartments at Maverick come with chef’s kitchens that offer integrated Miele appliances that let residents conduct all sorts of culinary experiments. However, the rooftop deck’s outdoor kitchen goes several steps further with a BBQ grill, rotisserie, smoke, and pizza oven.

Domino Park is home to Union Square Hospitality Group's Tacocina and in excellent proximity to popular Williamsburg waterfront restaurants. However, none of these can offer the views of the terraces at One Domino Square, which rose on the parcel of the former sugar refinery closest to the Williamsburg Bridge. A dining terrace with grills, outdoor kitchens, and intimate dining niches looks out on striking views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline.

Tall buildings are few and far between in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn (the neighborhood's tallest building is only 312 feet high), thus allowing the loft condo conversion of a former Salvation Army building to enjoy uninterrupted Manhattan views from the rooftop deck. Salvation Lofts is close to popular restaurants, but the rooftop outdoor kitchen and dining area make for an enjoyable dining experience right at home.
