    A parking lot converted into a beach? Only in New York. On our way back to Boston, Jason and I stopped by Williamsburg for a doggy pick-up (taking care of two Frenchies for the next week) and the Lower East Side for dinner at Antibes. Afterward, we wandered into the backyard beach bar at The Suffolk, a hidden hangout in the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center. The “beach” is made of nine chaise lounges, tiki lamps, bizarre shellfish decorations, and 5,000 pounds of sand (according to New York Magazine). There’s only beer and wine served, but they supposedly make awesome sangrias and in keeping with the theme, there’s also a grill with burgers (kosher, I believe) and other beach-friendly snacks. Lower East Siders must check this place out. It’s hard to find, but totally worth it. The Suffolk (at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center)107 Suffolk StreetNew York, NY 10002(212) 260-4080
