AL'S REVIEW: One day last summer, Emily and I took advantage of the free kayaking in Riverside Park on the Hudson River at 72nd Street. After racing each other in the water for awhile, we decided we needed to make our afternoon complete with alcohol. We walked south along the river to the completely outdoors cafe, the Maritime Cafe. It was perfect for a hot summer day after kayaking in the eclectic Hudson River. Their menu was great - salads, wraps, burgers, hot dogs, etc. AND their drink menu was even better. We opted for their homemade Sangria that put us over the edge. There was nothing like sitting in this clean open space and sipping on some chilled sangria with plenty of fruit! Our other favorite was their seasoned french fries... mmmmm. If you're in the neighborhood, it's a terrific pit stop!
