P.D. O'Hurley's at Pier 84

You'll find well-executed pub fare at this far-west eatery, but your little ship lovers won't care. They're here for the aquatic eye-candy: the USS Intrepid is docked at Pier 86, and the Circle Line ships are based at Pier 83 across the street. You, meanwhile, get to enjoy lunch under a parasol and occasionally spoon mouthfuls of chicken pot pie or bangers and mash into your kids' open mouths.
