Profile

A picnic-table patio with a funky nautical motif, or as its admiral (if that's his correct title) Alan Harding of Patois and Schnack fame, puts it, "garage-sale chic meets Gilligan's Island." The location (on the lot belonging to Bagels by the Park shop), the scent of frankfurters on a makeshift grill, plus wine and draught beer in plastic cups is sure to attract passerby and straphangers exiting the adjacent F/G subway stop.

Recommended Dishes

Frankfurter, $1.50; cheeseburger, $4

Great place for a) beer, b)sitting out side, c) smoking, and d) doing all of the above without spending very much. There is also BBQ food which is fine but not great. Hot dogs are better than burgers.
