"This open-air cafe within the 79th Street Boat Basin brings New York history, a view of the Hudson River, and dramatically arched ceilings. Food and drinks are unexceptional but satisfying, particularly on a pleasantly thirst-quenching day. Reservations aren’t accepted, but the large circular area with a bar works well for parties. Just be prepared to stand." - Paul Schrodt, Stefanie Tuder
