"Unless you have a kayak or a thick wetsuit, you’ll also need to take a boat in order to get to Island Oyster. This entirely outdoor spot on Governor’s Island is massive, with about as much standing room as Terminal 5, as well as lots of tables and a couple of different bars. Whether you’re eating oysters and bar food at a table, drinking wine on a bench or lounge chair, or playing ping pong or cornhole against some strangers, you’ll be a few feet from the water, with fantastic views of FiDi." - matt tervooren
