by Laura H. on It is a bit of hike to get to, but well worth it. I came out to this boat/barge/bar on the Hudson on Sunday, as an ending to the first really warm weekend of the Spring and loved it. We arrived at about 3:30, were able to find a seat and enjoy burgers and beers and great people watching. You're right on the water, so its great when the city gets really hot.We finished our afternoon on the upper deck with a pitcher of their white sangria - delicious.
by Stevie Sramek on This place proves to me that if the food is good enough, I can ignore the service. Not that the service is mean or nasty... they are so nice there... but it's not really "service" so to speak! Hey, when you're paying less than $10 for a huge plate of delicious food that is even re-filled on demand, what do you expect? I love the lentils, and I am such a carnivore that this is a strange statement for me. It helps that they come alongside fabulous spicy chicken and lamb, I suppose... The only negative I must say is the wine list, which I shouldn't expect to be good anyway-- but I'm telling you, if they had a dry Provencal rose on that list, I wouldn't be able to stay away. As it is, I get my food to go, and go home to my personal wine selection and a movie without subtitles, since the food requires all my attention.
