by Kelly B. on This is extremely pleasant place to spend a summer afternoon, I've even fallen asleep on the deck and no one bothered me (and all my stuff was there when I woke up). The breeze from the Hudson makes the hot summer nights on the deck of the Frying Pan a dream. The vessel was dredged up after a 3 year stint at the bottom of Chesapeake Bay and drove herself up to the docks of Manhattan. The interior of the boat has been minimally restored and is a blast to run around! My friends and I usually pick up a couple "Buckets" ($35 for 6 bottles of beer on ice) on the barge and head to the upper deck of the Frying Pan. The whole music/DJ thing is not my scene but that all usually happens on the barge, not the boat (unless it's a private party). As everyone says the sunset from the Frying Pan are awesome! The Old Bay Garlic Fries ($3.69) are wonderful (You can find the rest of the menu on Grub Street's 7/9/08 entry). None of the other food looks appealing, especially the boring veggie burger ($9.22). Food is served until 10pm, and the bar closes at 1am. I always call ahead to make sure they are open (they are only open in the warm months) and that there is not a private party happening... and I probably shouldn't say this, but it is easy to BYOB....
by Eugene B. on This ain't about the food, drinks, prices, decor, or service. This is about the scene. I don't review many things on my people's block of 32nd street. The only time I say the word, "32nd Street", is when I say something to a Korean friend like, "Oh is your new girlfriend 32nd Street? Does she speak English? Is she KBS Drama? Does she do peace signs in every photo?" So why a 3rd Floor Cafe review you ask? Cuz, it's an example of my friends who go weekly, yet deny going, yet deep down love going because they get to see the same exact people they saw last Thursday night in their I-Bank Finance attire and Asian girls fresh out of college who don't know any better. Elevators open and you see everyone inside looking to see who came through like a bunch of Owls. Who? Who? I don't really hang out with too many Koreans, especially here in NY. I think because they be doing the same shit over, and over, and over. They always resort to 32nd Street and I hate that. "Member that one time we went Korean clubbin, then we went to go sing after, then we went to eat Korean food at 32nd street after?" Johnny Walker Black please! Let's eat at Kun-Jip after drinking! Let's go sing! Let's start a fight on the street with all 20 of our homies and look tough! I don't know why, maybe I'm a laid-back California BBQ picnic, skateboard, checkerboard Vans wearing, Volleyball dude. I want to go to a house party w/ some beer and listen to hip-hop, drink at bars & pubs, eat buffalo wings, watch NASCAR, I want PIZZA after hard drinking, not Korean food! and most importantly I want to drink Hennessy! It's always Johnny Walker this, Johnny Walker that. Bleh...True playas drink the Henny. Ok, so I'm a little get low, but I can make you laugh though. To my Korean friends, Can we not be so communist and North Korean by going there all the time? There's this area called Manhattan and it has all these wonderful and diverse establishments to mingle. Peace outside, Master Hater
by Bunny Balaz on I honestly think I am getting burnt out on Hollywood clubs, but the interior was very ordinary to me. Small dance floor, medium sized bar, I seriously was having deja vu the club looked so much like Mood. There were no problems for my friend and I at the door so I don't know how hard the entrance policy is. I saw a few of the usual tough, short, bald bouncers giving people a hard time. The same ones who would never be let into Opera if they didn't work there. Oh the irony. The bartenders at some point in the evening began to get so overloaded with drink orders that they only took requests from people waving money in their face. Tip: pretend like you are going to a strip club and bring dollar bills for the bartenders in case it gets crowded. The one thing I liked about Opera was that there wasn't the usual catty estrogen crap that you get at clubs that bascially only let in girls, like Les Deux. Everyone seemed to be having a fun, chill time and I was able to make a few friends. Give Opera a shot, just don't expect really anything different than the usual Hollywood hotspot.
