Grand Banks

If you haven’t made it out to Grand Banks now’s the time. Yeah it’s hot out and yeah oysters aren’t at their best in the summer, but there is absolutely nothing as good as knocking back a few Black Duck Salts (on their menu today) with a cold beer while looking out over the Hudson river.

Built onto the deck of the Sherman Zwicker, a 1942 wooden schooner, the bar is a beautiful sight to behold. And the fact that they serve delicious food, perfectly shucked oysters, and a fine selection of craft beer and good cocktails, it’s hard to say.

I would go when they open, or early on a weekday to get a good spot, especially if you’re not into crowds.
