When we think of a picnic, an idyllic setting comes to mind. A blanket and basket is set atop a sprawling field in a picturesque location. We think about the picnic in the Alfred Hitchcock classic To Catch A Thief.  Cary Grant and Grace Kelly zip through the hills in the South Of France, stopping roadside in their convertible for a perfectly styled picnic.

Whether you're a city dweller or live in a house with a yard, there's really no need to think beyond the confines of your own home when planning portable snacks and drinks al fresco. You don't need to hit the local park or head out of town to feel the cozy fun of a picnic setting.  These days, the chic-est picnics happen on rooftops, backyards--even terraces. Whether it's a backyard gathering with games for a crowd, wine and cheese for two, or a rooftop cookout for an intimate group, these picnic picks with have you feeling right at home.
