Expect crowds on summer weekends. Specifically, they specialize in fresh pirozhki, filled with anything from egg and scallion to green cabbage to beef and rice. Kebabs are another big fixture on the menu, in addition to a bunch of other dumplings, salads, and rice-based dishes. But more than anything, their yogurt sauce has a cult following, and for good reason.
It comes adds a special tang to just about every dish, especially the baseball-sized manti and the hot pink borscht. Bring beer and sunscreen. This place will keep you from having a heat-hanger meltdown while you walk the boardwalk or make your children bury you in the sand. They have a huge menu with everything from juices and smoothies, to loaded pitas, spinach-feta turkey burgers, and protein bowls.

A cool coffee shop by the Beach 90 Street Holland subway stop to remember when someone in your group gets cranky. In addition to caffeine boosts, they make excellent pastries, juices, and smoothies. That, plus they have regularly scheduled outdoor movie screenings you can keep track on via their Instagram page.
Post-Sandy, Bungalow Bar did a really nice job renovating their old divey space. They have an amazing setup on the bay looking out at the Manhattan skyline, the food is decent, and the crowd is pretty social. Hit this place for a drink overlooking the water.
Here are our favorite places to pick up food and drinks there. The 97th Street beach bazaar has the widest variety of concessions on the boardwalk, including a location of this Red Hook-based lobster spot. They sell both cold, mayo-swiped Maine lobsters rolls as well as Connecticut-style versions with warm butter. Plus, some hot crispy fries that some nearby seagulls will rightfully be interested in stealing.
We particularly like the refreshing ceviche mixto, which comes with big hunks of Peruvian corn, lime-marinated red onions, and tons of acidic white fish and squid. Sand Shark Bar is that place around this part of the boardwalk. Most of the restaurants and stalls are huddled together in Bay 9. When the urge for cheese fries and chicken tenders becomes unavoidable around 3pm, walk up to this classic American beach spot and manifest your destiny.

Behind it is a park housed in the former military fort, the remnants of which are super-interesting: Walk about half a mile down the beach, until you see abandoned stone buildings. Look for a walking path that takes you away from the beach and follow it to reach Battery Harris East lookout point, which brings you high above the park and offers degree views that reach to Manhattan.
