Description:

You may feel like youve stumbled into a cruise ships staff rec room when you set foot in the Rusty Knot, located a stones throw from the Hudson River. Its a slightly different tack for the Spotted Pigs Ken Friedman, who co-owns the joint with Taavo Somer (Freemans). Commanding the galley is Joaquin Bacca (David Changs partner from Momofuku), who serves up a seafood-heavy menu of oysters, baked mussels and shellfish soup, alongside pretzel dogs, shepherds pie and a bacon chicken liver sandwich. The small space is wood-paneled and dotted with nautical flourishes, such as the brass coat hooks fashioned as boat steering wheels, and ceramic tiki glasses. The music is jukebox eclectic, and theres a pool table to round out the dive bar theme. All thats missing, it seems, are the old-timers, hoping to bend your ear with tales about how the neighborhood used to be.
