When the weather is warm here in New York and the sun is out shining, there’s nothing like enjoying some wonderful outdoor dining. Oftentimes we like to mention our favorite waterfront spots, whether it be by a lake or out along the ocean, but what if we told you there was a place where you could actually dine on the water? Bringing you onto a ship with a history that will leave you completely fascinated, see why this one floating restaurant is the most unique place to dine.
After serving over 30-years off Cape Fear in North Carolina and actually being sunken underwater for several years, today the historic Frying Pan ship is now docked here in New York.
Located at Pier 66 on the Hudson River, the Frying Pan is one of only 13 surviving American lightships out of the nearly 100 that were built over the course of history. Whoa!
Open during New York's warmest months, over the years since docking on the Hudson, the Frying Pan has become known as a premier spot to enjoy sunsets along the riverfront.
If you're ready for a unique dining experience that allows you to explore a fascinating piece of history, step aboard the Frying Pan to enjoy an unforgettable maritime outing.
