Frying Pan moves to Pier 66; reopening date uncertain
The Lightship "Frying Pan" this morning moved to Pier 66 from its longtime Pier 63 home on the Hudson River and "hopefully" will reopen this summer.
A call this afternoon to the Frying Pan elicited the news that there are issues with the utilities and a few other things to take care of before the Frying Pan can start serving drinks again.
The historic 1929 floating lighthouse sank next to an old oyster cannery in the Chesapeake Bay, but was restored and moved to Manhattan's Pier 63 in 1989.
Update: More coverage at Frogma and Eater.
