Pier I Cafe

You order at the counter, then find a seat and get your food whenever your buzzer buzzes. The system is blessedly uncomplicated, which means everyone can just chill the hell out and focus on the view . Read more

The setting here is spectacular, with panoramic views of the Hudson River , prime sunset views , and bike rentals nearby. The food is better than you’d expect, and won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Read more

This one is a bit hidden, but that makes it one of our favorite spots to hang out for a bucket of beers , and an easy burger w/ fries . Enter on 68th and Riverside and walk down the wooded path.

Awesome please to come chill . Beautiful views and the umbrellas with lights are so cute . Bar food is good and liked the drinks too... Would definitely be back. ????

Cute spot along the Hudson on the UWS. Sitting outside under the umbrellas on a sunny day, taking in the amazing waterfront views while sipping on tasty frozen cocktail , cold beer , or glass of wine

Really great outdoor bar and food by the water. Excellent service and lots of options in the sun or shade. Take a walk on the waterfront when you are done sipping your cocktails .

Great setting for a drink and/or snack at sunset . Food is better than expected, though everything is on the pricey side, but fantastic setting in NYC!

Perfect spot on summer evenings with a killer view - white sangria , old bay fries , and the chicken pimento were big hits at our table. Dog and kid friendly , too!

This place is often overlooked due to Boat Basin Cafe , which is only a few blocks up, but it's a great place to enjoy a bucket of Coronas with a few friends and enjoy the sunset . Good burgers too!

wow amazing date spot in the summer time, the food is delish and the drinks range from beer to yummy cocktails . I LOVE the piña colada taste just like icecream

Hot dog and fries were yummy. Great view of the sunset . Have eaten here several times and the food is good... I like the atmosphere and food here ... So much better than the boat basin ...

It makes a great bike destination, and the lobster roll , blackened salmon , and shrimp brochettes are better than they need to be, and cheaper, too. Read more

GORGEOUS views and beautiful ambiance. The food is a little overpriced but I guess you're paying for the location! Super dog friendly .

Treat yourself to summer favorites like Pat La Frieda burgers , fresh squeezed blueberry lemonade , and white wine sangria while watching boats sail up the Hudson. Read more

Delicious lobster rolls and old bay fries . The pitcher of sangria is definitely worth it. Burgers good as well

The food area is so romantic and the food itself is amazing. Good place to spend your summer nights walking by the water or chill back to have a fruity Sangria !!

Great refreshing cocktails and beer selection . Perfect spot to spend an afternoon sipping sangria and eating old bay fries . Dog friendly

One of the best places in the city to enjoy a beer and a burger while watching the sun set. Come here after a nice walk along the Hudson and clear your mind.

This is the perfect place for lunch or dinner . Beautiful views . Great food. Thanks to Liz & Richard. Full bar . Only open may-October, so what are you waiting for?

Grilled skirt steak with steak sauce , french fries , and a green salad

Burger , hot dog , Old Bay fries , Chicken Caesar salad ... All good choices. Avoid the beet & goat cheese salad . Get a pitcher of sangria or you're doing it wrong.

Love this place. Hard to get a table at times, but when you do, it's so worth it.

Great place for burger and beers on a nice weekend day. Get here before noon on a sunny day if you don't want to wait too long for a table!

Great for an outdoor drink with a view of the river . The corn and fries are a great summer treat. Decent summer beers .

Very good and affordable menu for a pier cafe . Last year they had an amazing watermelon and feta salad .

Tons of outdoor seating overlooking the river . Order your drinks and food at the counter and snag a table. Dogs welcome.

Bring your dog for great drinks and bites on a beautiful day. Chic spot with Hudson views . Competes with Boat Basin .

Fun place to grab a beer and snack . Settle in and people watch all afternoon.

Food spot solid burger , interesting sangria , blueberry lemonade good bit sweet awesome views

Really nice cafe on water. But if you want gourmet coffee , tea , and refreshing frozen yogurt try the BLU Cafe at West 66th st and Riverside Blvd. www.kashguha.com

No better place to chill out and watch the sunset . Food and beer - great. Not glamorous but absolutely romantic .

Blueberry lemonade is so refreshing! The fact that there's a designated line to order can apparently be confusing for some cyclists...

Not only good for a beer and burger on Summer evening, great for iced coffee and light breakfast after a good long run on a Spring/Summer morning

Kind of pricey for no table service, but you pay for the view . I love the blueberry lemonade , skirt steak , and their family/kid-friendly vibes.

Great views , relaxed atmosphere , and amazing food for a fair price . Get the kale salad !

Can get crowded after work, so get there early. Beer and food choices are pretty good too.

Nice pier terrasse where you can enjoy a beer , some food, and the sunset

Great location, not too crowded . An easy refreshment stop along the bike route. Delightful!

My absolute favorite go to place. Perfect if you are looking for a non pretentious spot with great drinks and food. Amazing Sangria !!!

Perfect for those beautiful summer weekends. Park your bike , grab an ice cold and pick a spot near the water.

While you're here, catch all of the great FREE events at Summer on the Hudson on Pier I - Wednesday movies and yoga , Thursday kid shows, Sunday concerts , and much, much more!

The Burger is a staple here and great washed down my a cold beer !

Don't sit next to the planters because that's where the rats and cockroaches hang out. But seriously this is a great place to hang out!

One of the best places for quick bite and enjoying the Hudson scenic view

Kids menu order of butter pasta with parmesan cheese

Best burger and white sangria ever! The view and wed night movies on the pier are also great!
