Frying Pan 
Located at Pier 66 
 
This seasonal maritime experience is a world unto itself. We had the pleasure of being here on a wonderful sunny Sunday afternoon. 
We were joined by "The Landsharks" and had it not been that Mr. Pow was not feeling well, him and the Mrs would have joined us as well.

High Line Park NYC

                          This day started with a pleasant trip to the High Line Park in NYC. Together along with the Pow's we have been there many times. This was the first time that "The Landsharks" had been there. It is always nice to see someone who has lived in NY for all their lives enjoy something new about it.
For dinner I decided to take them to the Frying Pan which is located at Pier 66 at the west end of 26th street.
 
This place was recommended by Hope S. and since all of her recommendations have always been spot on we decided to give it a shot. 
We did not know that it was a self serve place but based on the crowd, it was a younger and more casual foody. I can see why on the weekends this place rocks out and gets a large drinking and partying crowd. The menu is an easy read with not too much to think about. 
With great views and perfect weather this is an amazing place to venture into. Watch the helicopters land and enjoy an ice cold beer. 
We started our dining experience with an order of lamb meatballs served with a tzatziki sauce. These were very tasty and the tzatzki sauce had a real nice garlic and cucumber mix.
Both ladies ordered the salmon on a bed of fresh greens. One dish came out cooked OK and the other was considered "sushi"
That one went back to the grill with a little bit of attitude.
Both Mr. Landshark and myself had the BBQ St. Louis Ribs with Red Potato salad and a sour pickle salad. 
The Ribs were what you would expect from a place like this but down a few cold beers and they were great. 
Coming to you soon live on You Tube will be "The Dish With Dean"
If you have the opportunity to come here on Sunday afternoon or on a Friday night, it is well worth the visit. Just the experience is all the fun you will need.

  1. We drove by last weekend and wondered what the crowd was. Now we know - thanks for posting. Will have to try it out - we used to see The Frying Pan working in the Hudson all the time when we lived on Riverside Drive.
