Johnny's Reef Restaurant (City Island, NY)


today i got away from new york without really getting away.  i took the subway to the last stop on the 6 (pelham bay park) and biked to city island, had lunch and then explored pelham bay park a little.  it's another world out there.

apparently, THE place to go eat seafood on city island is Johnny's Reef Restaurant.  it's a huge establishment that seems to be a locals' favorite.
there are lots of seafood restaurants on the main strip on city island but none were as busy as Johnny's.  i had the fried flounder and scallops and both were fresh and good.  it's no le bernadin, but if you like a big plate of fried seafood every once in a while, you can get your fix here.  if i had any more space in my stomach, i would've gone for the raw bar.  oh well.  next time...
