Little Eva's Beer Garden and Grill

The 8 Best Restaurants on Governors Island - New York - The Infatuation

"Little Eva’s has put more effort into their seating area than any of the places around them. The gazebo with counter seating, potted plants, and high tops under tall trees make you feel like you’re at someone’s garden party. This is your spot to get a plateful of chicken tenders or a hot dog, but they also have some pretty solid dishes, like the Red Hook Cubano (which doesn’t really taste like a cuban sandwich but they crisp up the pork in a very nice way), the beer-battered cod sandwich, and the watermelon salad with feta and basil. Consider this place the “something for everyone” option on the island." - will hartman, kenny yang
