Catching Some Rays at Pier I
Summer in the city means long leisurely afternoons at Pier I Cafe, soaking in the suns rays and catching a nice breeze off the waters edge.
Located right off 70th Street at Riverside Park this casual cafe is a hidden oasis in the heart of the city. It's quite similar to the Boat Basin but with more of a family friendly vibe. There's lots of outdoor seating and a casual menu including burgers and hot dogs in addition to more upscale items like Blackened Salmon with corn & tomato salad and Grilled Skirt Steak.
I like to take a walk up here late on Friday afternoons for their delicious Cesar Salad topped with sheets of Parmesan cheese and creamy dressing. Paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and some sunshine, it's the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
