Pier NYC on Roosevelt Island

I met up with Ramen and Friends on Roosevelt Island at Pier NYC, right off the F train stop. I didn’t realize how easy it was to get on the island. I just remember watching Dark Water and the only way to run away from the creepy ghost girl and get off the island was by the air Tram. But it was pretty easy by train.

Pier NYC –an outdoor drinking and eating spot on the west side of the island, right across the street from the train stop. I got there late to meet everyone. They warned me about the Whoopie Pie and the BBQ, which they didn’t think was good. So I went with some $2-3 Oysters and $1 Clams. Pretty good pricing, with such a nice view of the water. Also went low-carb with a couple of gin and sodas ($7 each).

Then a few of us too the air Tram back to Manhattan. It was fun. Only a regular MTA card swipe –so basically free on my unlimited card. Dang, I felt like Jennifer Connelly. But more like in Requiem for a Dream.

Grand Seafood Feast

Ben and I ran into this guy on the street. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any cupcakes with him.

Then we grabbed some grub at Grand Seafood Fish Market right off the Grand L stop. I’m a big fan of their free steam. I had just gone there a week earlier with Rusty and Dave Dondero for some steamed clams and shrimp. Such a great deal. A dozen clams for $6. A pound of shrimp for $7. You’re literally paying market prices.

Their fried fish sandwiches are good too. We split the flounder and whiting sandwiches. Ben and I both agree, fried whiting sandwiches on white bread kicks ass.
