Gather up some friends and head to Southie’s newest summer hot spot – the Air Deck at Coppersmith! Groups of up to 20 people can reserve parking at a rooftop table by ordering one of Chef Heard’s Air Deck Picnics. Served in a vintage Radio Flyer wagon, these picnic menus include such deliciousness as bbq chicken, pulled pork tacos, shrimp, oysters, fish and more! Air Deck Picnics must be ordered 24 hours in advance by calling the restaurant directly and are based on first come first serve availability. The picnics are the only way to reserve a table on the Air Deck!
