"The large stretch of Long Island City that sits on the East River is mostly made up of public parks, so you’re going to have to fill up a Nalgene with pinot grigio if you’re looking to drink there. Unless you go to Anable Basin, an entirely outdoor bar behind some warehouses at the end of 44th. Its hard-to-find location and excessive amount of picnic tables make it less crowded than other spots with similarly impressive views, so keep Anable Basin in mind when you and your 15 closest friends are looking for a place to see another river you definitely can’t swim in." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, matt tervooren, molly fitzpatrick
