"Unless we start seeing residual checks for that time we walked through a set of Brooklyn 99, we’re unlikely to buy a sailboat anytime soon. But at least we can get a sense of what maritime life would be like at Grand Banks. This upscale boat bar has tables along the railings as well as circular bars around each of the two masts, and while it never moves from Pier 25 in Tribeca, you won’t mind because the views of FiDi and the Statue of Liberty are great. It gets really packed on weekends, so get here early if you don’t want to have your rosé and oysters standing up." - matt tervooren
