pick a bar for DPHH (September)

Hello all -

We're now into the last month of summer and evenings are very pleasant. Let's take advantage of New York's harbours.. I checked out Pier 17 in South Street Seaport area on foot and the views are great. The folks are a mix of tourisits (mostly) and NYCers. I checked out two places:


Harbour Lights

on third floor inside Pier 17 mall. Prices are around $25

It's a bit pricey but is very nice - you can eat and drink outside and enjoy a view of three bridges, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg. And watch ships sail through. There's plenty of wine, a seafood bar and I think the menu is new American. Click on the link to see the food menu. Looks yummy.


Seaport Cafe
($15 and under)

89 South St. (@ Pier 17),964-1120

M-Su 7am-7pm

The cafe offers a variety of European menu items

Seaport Cafe has no website link far as I can find. I found a blurb condensing info. It's right on the deck with a view of a schooner docked in with a couple other ships. Great view of downtown NYC draped behind the ship masts.


Please choose one place for DPHH and let me know before August 25th. Thanks!! Also, for more information (the Body exhibition is awesome you should check it out before DPHH) go to:

I've decided the date will be September 8, the second Friday of the month. First Friday falls on Labor weekend.

Here are some pictures.. the Night function on my camera doesn't work well so for the schooner masts with the NYC background - hope you can see it!! All pictures except of the view of the river and bridges are from and of Seaport Cafe. For more pictures of Harbour restaurant/bar you can click on Harbour Lights link.
