Profile

This romantic spot overlooking the East River is a favorite for formal affairs, but even your average demanding New York diner would be happy with the American menu and the yacht-club setting. There's a heavy emphasis on seafood like lobster and soft-shell crabs, and a massive Sunday brunch. Jackets suggested.

Brunch

Sun., 11 a.m.—3 p.m.

Weddings
There is nothing more romantic than taking your vows against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Spring and summer weddings are often held on the outside deck, while cold-weather weddings are held indoors on the upper deck (which seats up to 80 for dinner) or in the River Room (which seats up to 175 for dinner and has room for dancing).

Recommended Dishes
