So, let's get into it. We started off with the SPICY WATERMELON RITA. And let me tell you, this drink is an absolute sensation! You've got Jalapeño Tequila meeting Watermelon Fresca, with a Lime twist and a cute little Watermelon garnish. It's spicy, it's sweet, it's a wild rollercoaster of flavors, and oh boy, it sure hits different.

Next up was the MANGO MEZCALITA. Imagine this, the smoky Mezcal, the sweet Triple Sec, the ripe Mango Puree, the Fresh Lime Juice, all with a Tajín kick on the rim. If you’re a fan of bold flavors, this drink will totally be your jam. It's like taking a trip to a tropical paradise, right in the heart of NYC.

But we ain't done with the drinks yet. We had a classic MOJITO. Now, I ain't talking about your regular, run-of-the-mill mojito. Nah, we've got Silver Rum, Cold Pressed Mojito Mix, Mint & Lime working in harmony, creating a refreshing symphony that washes over your senses. Trust me, it's a total vibe.

Now onto the food. Guys, the FISH TACOS are an absolute must-have. Picture this: Mahi Mahi, crunchy Coleslaw, fresh Cilantro, tangy Pickled Onions, and a smoky Guajillo Salsa. Each bite is like a mini fiesta in your mouth.

But the real deal here? The BUILD YOUR OWN BURGER. We went for a Pat La Frieda Custom Blend with Green Leaf, Tomato, Pickles on a Brick City Sesame Seed Bun, and splurged on Cheddar, Bacon, and Caramelized Onion. This burger is legit mouthwatering, and it's got all the right feels. Each layer is like an exploration into the world of flavor, it's a masterpiece, y'all.

Now let's talk about the Frying Pan itself. This place is more than just a floating restaurant, it's a living piece of NYC history. Seriously, the Frying Pan has been around since the '80s and was once a U.S. Coast Guard Lightship. With my background in Experiential Design, I can tell you that the Frying Pan is the real deal. It's not just about the food and drinks, it's about an experience that captivates all five senses. You can see the cityscape, you can taste the delicious food, you can hear the murmur of the city, you can touch the historic red fireboat, and you can smell the enticing aroma of the food and the river.

So, next time you find yourself wondering where to go, remember the Frying Pan. The vibes are great, the drinks are fantastic, the food is stellar, and the views are just breathtaking. It's not just a restaurant, it's NYC in its purest form. In short, the Frying Pan is totally Instagrammable, and honestly, #summergoals. Catch you there!
