Get out and picnic in style (Windsor Basket for 4 from picnictrip.com)

Picnic season is upon us. With the Fourth around the corner, we’ve found a fabulous collection of baskets to help you partake in this summer tradition — and while the Fourth may be the hallmark of picnic days, we say get out and get picnicking. Picnictrip has everything from picnic baskets to picnic packs, coffee and tea sets to wine and cheese sets (for those nights with just the two of you) and guarantees 100% satisfaction.

We especially like the elegant Windsor Picnic Basket for four with insulating navy corduroy lining, stainless steel mugs and utensils, for a stylish family affair. A close runner-up is the Academy Picnic Basket for four, with caramel willow basket and red or blue and white gingham liner  – because nothing says patriotism quite like red or blue checked gingham. Rush shipping is available, otherwise allow 3-9 days.

Pick up a picnic with 30 minutes advance notice online or by phone at the Landmarc Restaurant in the Time Warner Center anytime between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. You can customize your meal from a mouth-watering list of breakfast and lunch items. Our picnic of choice? The yogurt with granola and berries followed by prosciutto and mozzarella sandwiches and blueberry crumble – add a few warm, goat cheese profiteroles in there too.
