Salvaged from the bottom of the sea (or at least the Chesapeake Bay), the lightship Frying Pan and the two-tiered dockside bar where it’s moored are fine go-to spots for a sundowner. On warm days the rustic open-air space brings in the crowds, who laze on deck chairs and drink ice-cold beers ($7/25 for a microbrew/pitcher).
You can also come for burgers ($13) cooked up on the sizzling grill or just sit back and admire the fine views across the water to Jersey City. In April and October the bar opens when the temperature rises above 65°F.
