Fresh seafood, not a cheap option, however we always get a bottle of white wine and the lobster roll when we go. They have a cute back patio with mosaic decoration and also rotate artwork from local artists.

Sightseeing
This is a club at the top of a hotel on the west side. We suggest when you go to the high line, start from the north and walk south. When you finish you can go up to Le Bain with is a rooftop and enjoy some amazing views for free. Just do this in the afternoon/early evening before it turns clubby-then you will have to dress nicely and wait in line to go up. If you are looking for a unique club scene though then also you can try it that way.
