Photo from New York Daily Photo
New York Daily Photo, a New York City photo blog by ‘Brian’ does a great job of capturing some images and events around New York City. Brian got some great shots of The River Cafe, which probably has some of the best views of Manhattan, but it seems to be one of the few places in Brooklyn that attracts more Manhattanites than Brooklynites. New York Daily Photo writes:
“In 1977, when chef-owner Michael O’Keefe opened The River Cafe on the Brooklyn waterfront , it was definitely a pioneering move, with doubts as to whether they would survive. Destinations off the beaten path do not always fare well in NYC – South Street Seaport is an example. New Yorkers and visitors are spoiled – we expect everything to be at hand and traveling to a restaurant, when there are 17,000 in Manhattan alone, is asking a lot. But the River Cafe has triumphed over these concerns. Their success has been driven by the spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, New York’s harbor and the Brooklyn Bridge.”
I’ve never been there myself. Are there any Brooklynites out there who have been to The River Cafe? How’s the food?

“The River Cafe accepts reservations for lunch, brunch, and dinner up to one year in advance, with the exception of reservations for special Holidays”
It’s an absolutely amazing experience and well worth every penny. It is very difficult to get reservations and they require you fax a copy of your credit card as part of the process. This of course is somewhat frustrating but it’s all worth it in the end. The desserts in particular are to die for.
