I keep coming back for the amazingly fresh & juicy apricot danish, Kouign Amann & almond croissants!
Altho' Passionfruit + Blood Orange frostings are tastier than most, doughnuts here are breadier & less sweet which I prefer. IMO, they're still less oily & not as dense than the 1's @ Doughnut Plant.
Passionfruit (front) + dulce de leche doughnuts were IMO more tasty & less oily & dense than the ones at the Doughnut Plant.

Follow painted lobsters to Lobster Pound (only 4 steamed lobsters, clams & soups). Skip Soups-watery & lacking in taste. Great steamed Littlenecks + lobsters but wish U got ur pick of M or F lobster.
#1 of Maine-style lobster roll (w/ 1 WHOLE lobster)! 2nd fave: Grilled Haddock sandwich. Scallops were very fresh & onion rings ok..except batter was too thick. Mayoey crab roll w/ lotsa meat.

Expect a condensed menu that's pizza-focused. 1 small is a personal-sized pizza. If you're here w/ a gf, share 2 of them: my fave -Bee Sting -and an Axl Rosenberg or Speckenwolf.
Why travel to Brooklyn for The Bee Sting (only @ brunch) when I can get my fave sweet, savory & spicy pizza every day 'til 9pm @ this midtown location near Grand Central (in Urbanspace Vanderbilt)?!

Get "Reel Deal" w/ choice of local, catch of the day +1 sauce & seasonal grains, greens & veg. Love their 100% sustainable fish, Red Curry sauce, Fish tacos, Blackened Fish Sammie & Guava ice cream!
Fish & Chips was another good menu option. Fish was fresh, buttery & flaky but a lighter batter (like Panko) would've made brought out the flavor of the fish & made it the star!
Seamore's Clam Chowder was not for me since I'm a seafood purist & would prefer more clams than big oily croutons & bacon flavor.
Draft beers-$7-$8, $6 Corona, $3.50 fries, $5 chicken tenders, $3.50 hot dogs and $13 hamburgers. The food was good and the water views spectacular.

Decent fried chickens and various versions of hot dogs that hit the spot! There is a seating area along with beer on tap inside, and one of the staffs last time was super friendly.
Vietnamese pork chop (Suon Nuong) was prepared well in ample portion. Food here is less salty than other Vietnamese places, so I was very satisfied with it.
Finally got the chicken sandwich and was quite delicious, hot and crunchy, plenty of sauce and full of flavour!!! Def better than your hate-filled Chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches
I love this Shake shack because it has the shortest line of them all. They also have indoor and outdoor seating.
Great food. Gobi app was very good. Chicken tikka, Malai kofta both very good. Lychee martini not so good. Coconut rice is nice.
