Decent go to spot if you're looking for some casual food/drinks and great views of the Hudson. It's always nice to come here early before it gets crowded, during the week this happens around 730-8pm. If coming here, I would say enjoy a bite and the sunset before heading over to another spot. If so, try Gallow Green rooftop at the McKittrick which is only a few blocks away.
The Frying Pan (because let's face it everyone calls it by this name) serves up decent drinks, the white sangria is really tasty and refreshing. If you're going to go for some food, the lobster roll is solid but the fries are the real star, covered in old bay seasoning. YUM.
There's good seating along this pier and it's not too boring. A girl can only stare at the Hudson River so long.
What's nice is the Frying Pan restaurant–while pricey, but very tasty–is at the pier.
If you're into water sports, you can find that here. If you'd rather watch, grab a seat and sit back. If you're in the mood for a bike ride or a run, there's a path nearby.
It's a lovely spot. The only bad thing is it's several blocks away from the closest train station.
If you want to do anything water-related, Pier 66 is where it's at. I came upon here as it's home to the NY Outrigger organization and I was partaking in a novice session.
There are showers, toilets and even small lockers (bring your own locks) at the facility.
Pier 66 is also home to the bar known as the Frying Pan. Wanting a beer after being out of the water has never been easier.
very cool place. the burger was ok. the seasoned fries were delish. the boat was cool.
Very cool atmosphere! I came here on a Saturday right as the clock hit noon and it was not busy – within 30 mins the place was packed, so let that be a tip! Get a seat right by the water and enjoy yourself. Good food, but overpriced as expected. I loved the hummus and crab cake was really tasty. My friends had the burger and lemon chicken sandwich (both decent).
My roommates and I came for a little Sunday Funday and really enjoyed our time. As you enter the pier, you can go to the boat on the left for dinner (the Frying Pan) or just head towards the back with the tables and bars. They have an extensive menu of seafood dishes and other hearty type food. We split the calamari and fries, which were both good. For drinks, I suggest getting a bucket or pitcher. For $40, we had a bucket of Coronas (6 in total) and the pitcher of sangria is also $40 (it's about 6 small glasses).
There is no table service, but there are a ton of deck hands around busing and cleaning tables. The atmosphere is the best part. Especially on a cool night, it's great to sit outside and enjoy the pier. Tables are chained together, so be prepared to sit very close to other groups.
Overall, it's worth the fun for the little time it's open.
Awesome spot, but I'm not sure I would come again. The "being on a boat" feeling is only cool that first few moments you're on it. Then you come to a realization, I'm on a freaking boat with all these people. I wouldn't do this on land, why would I do this on a boat?! Hah.
I really didn't appreciate the swaying — it was a windy day. I am putting into account that 30 minute wait to get in, even though my colleagues were on the line for me. I wouldn't wait 30 minute to get on a crowded boat to drink. I don't even think I need the drink to get a little dizzy, the boat was doing that for me.
All the staff were kinda antsy and rushed — I get that, there were like what felt like a thousand people on the boat. You can purchase the beers in a bucket or even get a coconut. The view was nice, but the seats weren't that comfortable — basically lawn chairs.
PERHAPS I will come back to try the food? But will I even be able to keep it down? I am so sensitive to becoming dizzy that it's not even funny…
Too much fun!
Oh NY. How I love thee. This place is great. It's basically an old ship turned into a hip hangout for fun, drinks. and greasy food. I literally spent an entire day here.
Pros:
– If you get a good seat, it's a great place to people watch and relax.
– The service is fast.
– The food is greasy deliciousness.
– The sangria is great!
Cons:
– It is very hard to get a table, so you literally half to stalk one until someone leaves.
– $$$$ you can easily drop a days wages here.
– Long lines for the bathrooms.
– Sunburn.
I loved it and would definitely be back!
