NYC Guide: Lunch at Pier 66

Good morning guys,

Happy Tuesday. It was such a lovely day yesterday with loads of sunshine, and I embraced it with a workout in Central Park and a picnic with the fam in the evening. Today is less good, but I was never one to complain about rain. In my mind it’s the most cozy weather available in the whole palette of weather. Then I just sit at my desk and listen to the rain drumming on my window, light a candle, and drink my favorite tea. The best time.

But actually I’m taking you back to a day where the sun was shining bright. I was exploring Riverside Park with my parents: a trip to Chelsea Piers Golf Club for some golf training at the driving range, then a walk along the water to the cool restaurant/bar Pier 66 Maritime. We needed a pick-me-up drink and some snacks, so I haven’t tried the dinner menu, but judging from the snacks, service, and vibe it is a must-visit.

My dad had a beer and my mom and I had a ginger beer each, and then we all shared some homemade hummus with veggies, bread, and olives. We sat on first floor (there’s a second floor as well, so you can really get a good view over New York City) on the side of the boat, and it was so lovely sitting there in the sun.

The prices are very normal for NYC restaurants and goes from about $7-$30. They have lunch, dinner, and drinks, and I just noticed that they also do Oktoberfest. We might actually go to that, since Edward has shown great interest in that event. I think beer, beer, and more beer intrigues him.
