Mezze on the River.

Honestly, if I had to choose between waterfront restaurants in NYC and Santorini, I’d lean towards the latter. Unfortunately, frequent trips for Greek food with a view aren’t in my budget. Luckily, Mezze on the River in Battery Park offers a solution.

With captivating views of yachts at the nearby North Cove Marina, Mezze on the River exudes an exclusive vibe, perfect for making an impression. The Mediterranean menu features shareable plates, so bring a friend. The honey-cigar appetizer (cheese wrapped in dough, drizzled with honey) is a must, and the grilled octopus is simply perfection.
