The Getaway 151 — Local services in New York

Hi, someone that lived in the neighborhood for over 30 years I really kind of miss when it was just a regular chill spot with benches and people already active in in thriving there. People used to work out there. Yes people used to smoke there but people also used to just get a meaningful second enjoying the view right there. It was great when it was simple and that gate was closed. It’s unfortunate now nobody can enjoy it because they took the benches away. Consumerism really is monster.

It’s funny how everyone says it’s great now yet every time I pass it there’s nowhere to sit and it still always locked. Pre-then removing the benches. It was free and accessible 24 seven. Now it’s basically nothing until “the owner “opens it up . Gentrification...

Not only did we happily stumble upon this spectacular view…it reconnected us with a dear friend (owner David) of over 20yrs. David & his wife (and of course their awesome little Leo) have put so much heart and devotion into this to die for scenic spot on the Hudson! The art & music they are bringing to our community along with friendly chats and delicious pours are worth a stop in every night...

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this spot last year around Halloween and we immediately loved the vibe. The owner David and his wife are superb—you can tell they genuinely care for the neighborhood and its people. Their son Leo, who you’ll often see darting around with boundless energy, is adorable. Pretty sure he has a little crush on my girlfriend… sorry Leo,...
