The Frying Pan
I recently discovered a great new outdoor hotspot. One hot Friday afternoon I was skimming through my Time Out New York magazine looking for a casual place to sit outside and have a drink and a snack. I stumbled across The Frying Pan and decided to head over there and try it out.
Turns out The Frying Pan is awesome! It sits on a boat by the Westside Highway and 26th Street. It is a really, really big boat so the large crowds that turn out don’t crowd you too much if you get a table. We got there a few minutes after 5 and grabbed a small table on the side right next to the water. One of us went up to order, since there isn’t table service. They have buckets of Corona and pitchers of White Wine Sangria along with the typical bar menu items. They also had some delicious clams and fries that looked fabulous! We munched on our seafood and sipped Sangria and watched the boats float by.
As the night progressed the Frying Pan got more and more crowded (mostly by what seemed to be a bridge and tunnel group) but we didn’t notice until we were leaving because our table separated us from the crowd so much. All in all we had a great time and vowed to head back to the Frying Pan soon. What a unique and fun find!
