Hudson Beach Cafe, 105th in Riverside Park


To dine outside in New York with a view of the Hudson River and the Palisades and an occasional sailboat crossing through the sunset's reflection -- there's Hudson Beach Cafe, inside Riverside Park at 105th, just across from the dog run.  You can bring your dog and they will serve him his own cup of water.  You can come with your team in uniform and drink beer served in buckets of ice.  And you can order burgers with fries ($10.95) with beer ($5) -- as we did.

The burgers were served with lettuce, pickles and a tomato.  They were plump, and medium rare -- just as ordered.

Best of all -- you can sit on a terrace under green umbrellas above the beach volleyball courts and gymnastic equipment that's on the lower level of the park -- and gaze out at the Hudson River.  No need to go to the country.
