"When Grand Banks opens for the season, it's officially summer in New York City. Grab a drink and some oysters at this seasonal oyster bar on a historic wooden boat docked at Pier 25 in Tribeca. Most of the seafood entrees, like a lobster roll and a scallop salad, are on the pricier side (i.e. over $30), but a meal here is a fun, unique experience, and the view of the Hudson is obviously very nice. They usually stay open until at least October, but it’s best to go early in the season, before tourists and interns snatch up all the reservations.
