This Secluded Beachfront Restaurant In New York Is One Of The Most Magical Places You’ll Ever Eat

Unlike other states in our country, we as residents of New York don’t get to enjoy the luxury of outdoor dining all year long. With chilly autumns and frigid winters taking up half of the year, some of our favorite restaurants may only be open for just a matter of weeks during our warmest months. Open every day from now until September, there’s one spot out on the water that’s like our own little getaway right here in our backyard.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Right in the small village of Island Park, Pop's Seafood Shack & Grill is like experiencing a unique staycation all packed into one dining destination.

Another great thing about Pop's? They have forty boat slips and free docking available! This means you can pull your boat up right to the shore and choose to either dine on the beach or indoors or choose to have your food delivered right to you on your boat!
