About

This rustic spot sits under the Riverside Drive Viaduct, offering a lively, family-friendly vibe with full bar and outdoor seating. It's a mixed gay-straight crowd, casual and welcoming, serving American, Cajun-Creole, and soul food staples.
Happy hour runs daily, and you can bring your dog to the patio. The place gets busy, so reservations are a smart move. It's a favorite for locals and Manhattanites alike.
