by Kevin C. on When the weather is nice, the Frying Pan is one of the coolest places to hang out. It feels like a backyard gathering, except it's on a boat, docked to a pier, with a band (sometimes), and nothing is free. Here is a short story that summarizes my experience at the Frying Pan: Late one summer night, a dude couldn't take the heat anymore. Thus, he performed a brave feat that few men would. This drunken fellow, ripped off his shirt and climbed to the top of the railing that overlooked the river. The Hudson stared back at him with dark black eyes with a hint of brown overtones (potentially mud or poo). In pure defiance and stupidity, the man leaped off the railing and dove into the cool water below. Victory was his... or was it? Someone screamed, "Watch out for that floating diaper!" The man eventually made it to shore and rejoined his friends on the Frying Pan to continue drinking early into the morning.
by Elena Kostiv on I do not like this place. I hate paying $10 to stand around a crowded room and fight my way to the bar (cool looking with the roses). It's $10 to get into Cosmo Lava or Opera, both places with more room, better music and of course, dahhhncing! Useless. If it was free (and now I have some free entry coupons from Mary Mac's so HAH) then I would be more apt to go. Go drunk already, drinks are expensive. It was so bizzare that they had dancers on lightboxes. Opera wannabe-- but no one else could dance anyway, so what was the point of having DANCERS? Certainly not encouragement...maybe simply ogling? Too bad they were not attractive. AT ALL. Come to think of it, no one here really was. Too much hair gel. Lame, skip. P.S. One time we were here, a girl walked in with NO CLOTHES ON and FULL BODY PAINT. NO CLOTHES. NO CLOTHES. It was Halloween weekend and that was her "costume"...walked right past a cop, no problem. Ridiculous. Kind of unhygienic, no? My guy friends certainly were not complaining :-P
