Nothin like a little 🌘 eclipse action to make you appreciate the last ☀️rays of summer. Dolla oysters, pitcher cocktails, and harbor views also help 😉 🌇
📍Pier A Harbor House, Battery Park, NY 🗓August 21, 2017
The day of the eclipse, I felt a little sad to be missing out on being one of those people that drove down to an area in the path of totality. Instead I was stuck at work in an area where only about 70% of the sun would be blocked out. Luckily my co-worker bought enough glasses for us to share and another co-worker showed us how to get to the roof of our building. It was pretty amazing. Science is awesome. I cannot wait for the next one.
Pier A is kind of bougie. The oysters were questionable (I had some stomach issues later which may or may not have been due to these oysters but I lit’relly cannot say no to doller oysters)! The cocktails, while not that pretty or “gramable” were strong and come in pitchers. My friend and I split the “Albatross” aka the Paloma, which included tequila, Italian grapefruit soda, and lime. Then we both got the Monday $10 Burger which was generous enough to come with bacon but also some sad limpy fries. These views though were unbeatable with the sailboats drifting along and Lady Liberty winking at you. Ended one of the last truly warm days of summer stumbling home pleasantly tipsy through Wall Street singing Hamilton tunes out loud to the subway. New York, I love you.
