New Yorkers just LOVE a quality branded space. But not really. Indeed not at all. What they do love, particular in the heat of summer, are cold drinks and delicious views, which is what the Riverdeck provides. So expect crowds enjoying after work drinks, tourists cooling their heels, and folks out just looking for summer fun.

Drinks are expensive, so expect to drop some coin if in for the long night. But the spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge and East River along with some outstanding people watching are free.
