As New York City enters its most dynamic season, Four Seasons Hotel New York introduces its summer 2025 lineup—a refined mix of signature events, city-inspired offerings, and curated experiences designed to engage both discerning travellers and locals alike. From immersive excursions and celebratory cocktails to seasonal menus and thoughtful new amenities, the hotel invites guests to embrace summer in true Four Seasons fashion.

“Summer in New York City is a season defined by its energy, cultural richness, and timeless appeal,” says Chris Shiel, Commercial Director. “At Four Seasons Hotel New York, we are delighted to welcome guests to experience the very best the city has to offer through our thoughtfully designed summer 2025 programming—crafted to ensure each stay is as memorable as it is meaningful.”

Highlights of the season include newly refreshed lunch menus at The Garden restaurant, a celebratory Father’s Day menu and Pride-inspired cocktails at TY Bar, exclusive dining credits, elevated picnic experiences in Central Park, and a whimsical pancake series building off of The Garden’s iconic Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Each offering is designed to capture the essence of summer in Manhattan with luxurious and personalized touchpoints.

Central Park Picnic Experience – This summer, Four Seasons Hotel New York invites guests to explore Manhattan’s most iconic green space with an elevated picnic experience, complete with curated baskets. Three distinct menus, crafted for two by the culinary team, offer something for every palate – from indulgent breakfast bites to elegant afternoon spreads:

• EPIC Breakfast: A sunrise feast featuring mini pastries, seasonal fruit, smoked fish with traditional accompaniments, mini bagels, yogurt parfaits, asparagus-goat cheese frittatas, and bacon-egg-cheese puff pastry bites. Served with green juice and orange juice.

Summer Pancake Series – The Garden at Four Seasons Hotel New York introduces a whimsical new pancake series, offering guests a rotating selection of seasonal pancakes that celebrate peak ingredients, iconic New York traditions, and playful Americana. Each month, a specialty pancake will debut as a limited-time feature, with festive additions planned for the Fourth of July (a star-spangled flag pancake) and US Open week (a Honey Deuce-inspired creation). Specials for the summer series include:

• Peach Cobbler Pancake (June) – Fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with grilled peaches, a spiced mascarpone cream, and brown sugar-cinnamon crumble—warm, nostalgic, and made to mark the start of summer.
• Strawberry Shortcake Pancake (July) – A bright and breezy nod to peak berry season, this dish layers soft pancakes with dehydrated strawberries, whipped cream, and a generous spoonful of mint-macerated strawberries.
• Campfire S’mores Pancake (August) – A decadent tribute to summer nights, featuring stacked pancakes finished with toasted meringue, graham cracker crumble, and rich chocolate sauce—no fire pit required.

Pride Cocktail Offerings – This June, TY Bar continues its celebration of New York City’s cocktail heritage with a special Pride menu that honours the revolutionary spirit and cultural impact of the LGBTQ+ community in the 1970s. As with the bar’s regular offerings—which spotlight pivotal eras in the city’s imbibing history—this limited-time trio of cocktails draws inspiration from a transformative decade that saw protest evolve into celebration and nightlife become a powerful vehicle for self-expression. From the defiant beginnings at Stonewall to the euphoric pulse of Paradise Garage, these drinks pay tribute to the era that helped shape both a movement and the city itself.

• Stonewall Uprising (Grey Goose Vodka, Lavender-Infused St-Germain, Fresh lemon, Butterfly Pea Flower, Prosecco Float) - A colour-changing cocktail that pays homage to the early hours of June 28, 1969, when patrons of the Stonewall Inn rose against injustice. The vibrant transformation of this drink from deep blue to purple represents the dawn of Pride.
• Christopher Street Liberty (Hendrick’s Gin, House Rainbow Peppercorn Tincture, Fresh Mint, Bitter Orange, Champagne) - This effervescent cocktail honours the first Pride march in 1970 and the diverse voices that made history. A nod to the courage and celebration that began on Christopher Street.
• Paradise Garage (Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, Passionfruit, Pineapple, Lime, Coconut Foam, Disco Ball Ice Sphere) - Named for the legendary club that served as a safe haven for the LGBTQ+ community from 1977 to 1987. Smoky mezcal and tropical flavours capture the raw energy and joy of the disco era.

Additional New Summer 2025 Offers Include:

• Experience More at Four Seasons Hotel New York - Guests who book any room category can now take advantage of the Experience More offer, which includes a USD 250 dining credit that can be used towards experiencing The Garden Restaurant, TY Bar and in-room dining.
