The New York Times - Have yourself a little picnic

If the thought of having to answer “What do you want to watch?” another night in a row is going to send you into an absolute spiral, perhaps it’s time to mix your routine up. Might we suggest the easy joy of heading outside for an evening park picnic? (No, this newsletter was not written by mosquitoes ... ) 

‌

Executed well, a picnic can feel like something magical—a sort of life-highlight-reel event. There are no reservations or crowds that come with dining out. There’s none of the monotony and screen-worship of staying home—just the present moment, in a green space, enjoying something delicious.

‌

We’ve rounded up some Wirecutter favorites that will make excellent additions to your next park hang—whether you’re on our favorite picnic blanket, tossing around a frisbee, or getting lost in your latest read.
