En af de (mange!) gode ting ved New York City er, at det er muligt at nyde naturen og det fri midt i storbyen.

Central Park is only one of the Big Apple’s beloved green spaces, and the city itself is virtually hugged by water on all sides, whether by the Hudson, the East River, or the Atlantic Ocean. What better way to take in some of New York’s most fabulous waterfront views than perched right by the water, enjoying an evening tipple or two as the sun sets?

We’ve shortlisted some of the best waterfront bars NYC has to offer, seasonally or year-round, so you don’t have to do the guesswork when deciding on the perfect spot for a perfect cocktail—plus a gorgeous view—after a day of sightseeing.

 

Hvad er NYC's bedste barer ved vandet?

 

1. Pier i Cafe

Pier i Cafe ligger på Upper West Side og er den perfekte ramme for en afslappet cocktail i afslappede omgivelser med en decideret naboskabsstemning.

På dette sæsonåbne, super afslappede sted serveres der klassiske cocktails og en madmenu med friske fisk og skaldyrsretter sammen med NYC-klassikere, såsom hotdogs og burgere, som altid rammer plet.

 

2. Baylander Steel Beach

Baylander Steel Beach er en sæsonbestemt bar og restaurant, der ligger om bord på et historisk hangarskib, som ligger ved West Harlem Piers.

På denne restaurant og bar ved vandet får du friske fisk og skaldyr, som du kan spise i hummerruller og fiske- eller reje-tacos, og en håndværkscocktailliste, der er sammensat af bartendere, som tydeligvis ikke er til at spøge med. Gå ikke glip af Boat Fashioned, der er lavet med Sagamore rye whiskey, Martini Fiero vermouth, burlesque bitters og en appelsinis.

 

3. Grand Banks

Grand Banks ligger ved Pier 25 på toppen af en historisk træskonnert og er en af de bedste restauranter ved vandet, hvor man kan smage friske østers, der oven i købet er bæredygtigt høstet.

Come for the delicious oysters and beer-battered fish tacos, and stay for the super-cheery
yellow-and-white awnings—they’re an instant mood booster, even on an overcast day.

 

4. Pilot

Hvis Grand Banks lyder som noget for dig, vil du sikkert også kunne lide Pilot, et andet fantastisk sted ved vandet, der ligger på en historisk fiskerbåd, denne gang med kaj i Brooklyn Bridge Park ved Pier 6 i Brooklyn Heights.

Det er åbent i sæsonen og drives af de samme folk som Grand Banks, så du vil finde stort set den samme situation: De samme folk finder du i samme situation: en munter gul og hvid indretning, fremragende fisk og skaldyr og altid lækre cocktails.

 

5. Saga

Tag til Saga og nyd lækre cocktails, mens du nyder den fantastiske udsigt over downtown Manhattan og Brooklyns skyline, når mørket falder på. Dette eksklusive sted byder på smagningsmenuer og håndværkscocktails, som alle kan nydes fra den 63. etage i 70 Pine Building, der er et fint eksempel på art deco-arkitektur.

 

6. The River Café

New Yorkers have been heading to the River Café for special occasions for some four decades, partly for the restaurant’s iconic location underneath the Brooklyn Bridge and its fantastic fusion cuisine and romantic live piano music.

Dette er et af de steder i New York City, hvor man insisterer på at have en fin dresscode, så sørg for at klæde dig godt på, inden du tager af sted til en aften, du nok ikke glemmer foreløbig.

 

7. Hudson

Hudson er en afslappet, familievenlig restaurant med udendørs siddepladser, som har åbent i sæsonen og ligger i Inwood Park ved Dyckman Marina. Dette afslappede sted er et fantastisk sted at nyde solnedgangene over floden, mens man drikker piña coladas, mai tais eller mojitos og spiser en af de karakteristiske pulled-pork-sandwiches eller nogle virkelig lækre skaldyr.

There are so many bodies of water to allow for a temporary break from the city without actually leaving it. Whether you are reminded of childhood trips to the beach or you just need to get away from the skyscrapers and subways, relaxing by the water will give you a chance to unwind and enjoy the views.

 

 

What’s the best way to score fabulous cocktails while enjoying unobstructed NYC skyline views?

A fantastic way to experience gorgeous views of New York is in a boat out on the water itself, where you can take in the Manhattan skyline and other iconic New York spots, like Long Island City, Hudson River Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Lady Liberty, and Battery Park City.

How about hitting the Hudson River for a different way to do happy hour aboard an Alive After Five 2-hour cruise? You can let your hair down and groove along to live DJ music while sipping cocktails and taking in the views with a laid-back vibe and good times to be had by all. It’s the perfect outing for any celebration or just a night out.
