This seafood restaurant is next to the town dock. We go there often and the last time there, we closed out the bar. It’s been a while. The reviews for this Port Washington establishment is mixed. I like it for the view, and decent service and dependable food. Nothing is really fancy here. They sell Napa Frogs Leap 2014 Chardonnay under $50.

We started with their cold (small) and hot samplers, working to the main course. All are good. It’s the first time I went there so early, to see an empty hall.

When they started in 1905, boats were the only mean to get there because they were on a floating barge anchored out in the bay. Thanks lord they’re more accommodating nowadays so we the 99% get to go.  Yelp

The Metropolitan Museum in New York is a giant museum that one could linger for a few days. It holds functions at Temple of Dendur from time to time. A little arch at the back, from Central Park. The Met also has a large Rodin collection. The story of the Astor Court.
