As anyone who knows me can attest, I have a borderline obsession with The Frying Pan. When I first discovered it, I was so blown away it felt like I was 5 again and in Disneyworld. This is NYC? Really? YES, enjoy it! Perhaps cooler than the initial discovery was the second boat to the left, which had an amazing dance floor and various nooks and crannies to cuddle up into. I mean, Goonies anyone? In addition to being ON THE WATER, ON A BOAT, there's live music, some of the best seasoned fries on this planet and buckets of corona. I pretty much live here over the summer and no other spot in the city can compare. Long live day drinking!

Bar, restaurant, patio, club, combined as one This is a pretty cool place, and a ton of Asians go here for some reason. When you enter, you go right to the bar, or to the restaurant. I never ate here, so I can't comment on the food. The bar area is okay, its where everyone meets up, the problem is there isn't many seats, so be ready to stand for a while. You can then walk to the patio area. It is completely sealed, as far as I can tell, so I'm kind of surprise you can smoke there, and there's plenty of seats there. From the patio, you can climb upstairs and go to the club area. The dance floor is quite big, with a mini and unheated patio for smoke breaks. So strange that I notice these things even though I don't smoke. For some reason, people that are on the dance floor, are pretty wasted. I can see why some would avoid this area. I was here on more than 1 occasion, there was 1 time that I was wasted, and yeah, it was fun, but I don't remember what happened. P.S. about the dress code - No, you don't need a girl on your arm to get in, at least that was the case for the last 3 times that I went there for the past month or so, but you do need a collar shirt. If you dress like a thug, you can always go to Red Rock West on the corner, but don't say I didn't warn ya, the "bartenders" can get a little wild over there.
