At Pier 42 the decor is fabulous and so are the cocktails.
The property has been beautifully restored, blending maritime heritage with contemporary elegance. Many original features remain — grand staircases, high ceilings, and vintage elevators — enhanced by framed maps, photographs, and historic dining menus that deepen the sense of history.
