We’re told Pier 66 Maritime, the pleasure barge most of us know as the Frying Pan, reopens May 1. If weather permits, it might even open during the upcoming weekend and/or the next. As for the Frying Pan itself, the city still hasn’t granted the lil’ lightship a new certificate of occupancy, and until that changes, no events can be thrown on or inside the boat. Which is kind of ridiculous, since it’s been a couple of years since it moved from Pier 63. But whatever, the barge itself is a joyous place to hang out, and additions to the lunch and dinner menu (which follow) are sure to make it even better this year. Hours of operation: Noon to midnight.
