Southwest Porch at Bryant Park

Located in the southwest corner of Bryant Park, the Southwest Porch (Southwest as in the airline) offers a medium-sized outdoor area for imbibing.  The place is commercial (the servers wear Southwest airline T-shirts and peanuts are served in the typical airline-sized pouch).  If you can get passed that, the place is a decent option for afterwork drinks, especially now that the warm weather has arrived.
