Things To Do
Pier 26 at Hudson River Park
The reception at City Vineyard overlooks the recently renovated Pier 26, which officially opened in Sept'20. Designed by landscape architect OLIN, the pier’s principal feature is an engineered representation of a rocky tidal marsh-- known as Tide Deck-- spanning 15,000 square feet and is intended to heighten awareness of the wildlife and habitat originally found within Hudson River Park and the surrounding Estuarine Sanctuary. A cantilevered walkway above this area offers uninterrupted views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the river.
Grand Banks
Inspired by the floating "oyster barges" that lined Manhattan's waterfront in the 18th and 19th centuries, Grand Banks features sustainably harvested oysters, nautically inspired cocktails, and awe-inspiring views. *Open seasonally & reservations usually needed.
Fraunces Tavern
One of our favorite bar/ restaurants in the city! New York’s oldest and most historic bar and restaurant-- This building is most famous as the site where, on December 4, 1783, George Washington gathered a group of his officers, nine days after the last of the British troops left American soil, to thank them for their service and bid them an emotional farewell before returning home. The only first-hand account of the Farewell comes from The Memoirs of Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge, which Fraunces Tavern Museum has on display.
