The east coast's answer to In & Out. The prices are not as cheap as In & Out, but the ingredients aren't as cheap either. In my opinion, this is one of the best fast food burgers I've ever had!

Drinks & Nightlife
On nice days, this is where the locals go to enjoy a beer and the weather. This beer garden is over 100 years old. One of, if not the oldest beer gardens in the city. You can bring kids in until 9pm, so it's a great place for parents to enjoy.

Parks & Nature
This park overlooks the East River and has breathtaking views of Manhattan. Walk along the water just north of the Hellgate Bridge and look south through the Hellgate and Triboro Bridges for one of my favorite views of Manhattan.
Besides the view, this is a great area to safely go for a jog or just lounge on one of the many green spaces. During the summer, there are many events taking place, including community fairs and outdoor movies.
You may even recognize the scenery from different tv shows and movies. There are movie shoots happening in the area all the time.
