P J Clarkes On The Hudson

In Short – Financial types are drawn to this World Financial Center site for its convenient and picturesque location, where Hudson River breezes and a Lady Liberty view can be enjoyed from the sizeable outdoor cafe. The equally sprawling interior replicates the 120-year-old original's pubby feel with red-and-white checked tablecloths, blackboards, and wood-blinded windows. Indoors and out, suits and ties tuck into comfort classics like fish-and-chips, burgers, mac and cheese and steaks before catching commuter ferries home.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:: If you're in midtown, check out the original P.J. Clarke's.
When to Go:: A $15.65 Saturday and Sunday brunch includes a beverage and choice of four entrees.
Look Good:: Ask about the P.J. Clarke's "locals card," which offers discounts and preferred seating to neighborhooders.

Decent beer and service, terrible food

by lizzyred8

Stopped in for dinner after a long day of shopping. Food was extremely disappointing. The buffalo chicken sandwich seemed to be something other than chicken, and the chicken pot-pie was comparable to dog food. Left quite hungry and made a stop at Ciao Bella.

Pros: Beer
Cons: Food

Not the place I used to know!

by czarnowica

I am a long time fan and customer of the original PJ Clarkes' on Third Avenue - this one is a sad ghost of its predecessor. I have no complaints about the quaity of the food - but the skimpy way the food is presented (imagine serving a cheeseburger without any lettuce, tomoto or a pickle!) leaves much to be desired. I guess the Wall Streeters who frequent this spot are not as into "getting down" into their burgers, but then again, at least a good quality of beef is served here. We should all thank God that at least soy burgers have not yet made it to the menu, but it would be a better place if it were a bit more "pub" and a lot less yuppie. This place has no character - it's no different than any other upscale faux pub in NY!

Pros: Right on NY harbor - great views, but don't go on a weekend!
Cons: Yuppie heaven!

Only recommended for the bar prior to Lincoln Center

by camy123

Went here for dinner prior to ballet at Lincoln Center. Food is truly terrible, and not that cheap for the quality. Crab cakes (average), filet of sole (sauce was gross maple syrup!!), mussels (sandy, below average)-white wine butter sauce was good tho; house pinot grigio -below average.

It does have a great view though and is convenient to Lincoln Center. The bar was crowded with 30s-50s year olds, nice looking crowd. Our waitress was from Ireland and extremely nice.

Pros: Service, location, view
Cons: FOOD, wine list

If you're a burger euphamism-for-prostitute, check this place out among the others

It's been almost 2 years since the last time I was here, but I think about this place and salivate about the burgers. Initially I was turned off by the overpriced menu, but after hitting other burger places in the city and this one has a soft spot in my heart. I think the bun is the clincher.
