Grab a beer and burger at the tiki bar on the pier and enjoy sweeping views of the Hudson from the 16-foot observation plank. If you chose to sit on the lightship, be forewarned: the motion in the ocean might put urk in your works.

Salvaged lightship home to one of the scarier and weirder nights out in NY, especially when you're lost trying to find the bathroom in the rusty hull. Recently moved from Pier 63 to Pier 66a and interior has received some sprucing up, but raffish charm remains intact. New dock has killjoy 1am...
