I love Pier 63 and the Frying Pan. I've been living in NYC for many years, but somehow I haven't come across this barge (not really a pier) with 2 antique boats (The John Harvey and The Frying Pan.) Last year my friend had a wonderful wedding here, probably the prettiest one I've ever seen. Since then I've been a regular. During the warm months there's a bar and grill, serving simple and affordable drinks and basic food. It's a joy to grab a few beers, a greasy burger and to climb up one of the FP's decks watching the sun set over NJ. A great place to bring guests and to throw casual parties.
The East River Dr. Address for this listing is incorrect. The FP is at 12th Avenue and 23rd Street.
Pros: Location/Atmosphere, Inexpensive
