If you’ve never taken the tram to Roosevelt Island, here’s an excuse to do so this holiday weekend of sorts: Pier NYC opens on the West Promenade Friday. The waterside café has a barbecue-sandwich menu from Josh Bowen of John Brown Smokehouse and a “Santos Seafood Shack” lineup of oysters and more from Um Segredo’s David Santos, with cocktails to wash it all down, of course. The spot opens Friday and will run daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., weather permitting, through the end of October; see menus below.
