"Much like an above-ground pool or the music of Harry Belafonte, the South Street Seaport is best enjoyed during summer. So the next time you find yourself below Canal Street, go check out Bar Wayo. It’s a new spot from the Momofuku people at Pier 17, and, as the name suggests, it’s more of a bar than a restaurant - though you could eat their Hamburg Dip sandwich and call it dinner. The cocktails are great (especially the one that comes in a fish mug), but keep an eye out for the drink special that comes in a hollowed-out watermelon. It tastes like equal parts sake and watermelon juice, and it’ll make you want to purchase a watermelon farm, a sake distillery, or both. Drink a few of these beverages at a table on the outdoor patio, or just sit at the U-shaped bar inside and enjoy a nice view of all the boats and tourists in the Seaport." - Bryan Kim, Hillary Reinsberg
