Grand Banks
If you're looking for an elegant seaside experience that rivals a day in the Hamptons, step aboard Grand Banks, the historic schooner turned oyster bar docked at Tribeca Piers. The wait staff moves like a tidy crew, bringing top-notch sinful plates (raw oysters, soft shell crab) to the horde of tables on deck at regular intervals. Two brass-tapped bars that offer prime seating even without reservations flank the bow and mizzen mast if you'd rather just relax and sip while taking in the sunset.
Oysters from the East and West Coasts, including Tomahawks from Shinnccock Bay, Mermaid Cove from Prince Edward Island, Great South Bay from the Long Island Sound, and Kusshi from Deep Bay in Vancouver, make up a large portion of the menu. Small plates are also offered, including a Maine lobster roll with boat-made pickles on a toasted bun, Jonah crab claws with smoked paprika and lemon, Montauk sea bream, avocado, and kaffir lime ceviche, and more. Sea scallops and soft shell crabs are also available.
The Painkiller, which is made with white rum, pineapple, and coconut cream, and the Yacht Club, which is made with tequila, lime, and Pcyhaud's bitters, are both excellent sea-inspired cocktails to try in Grand Banks. There's also a nice selection of beer on tap and wine, making this a perfect spot to drop anchor!
