I wouldn’t have thought the West Side Highway was a great place to go immediately after work — I mean, you have to book it immediately after work, and you show up pouring sweat — but I forgot the old truth: that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. And the Rusty Knot, looking out at the ancient spires of Hoboken through its giant, spotless windows, gets one of the most beautiful sunset views I’ve ever seen in Manhattan. And the best sunset you’ll get at water level, unless the Frying Pan opens back up, as promised, this summer. God, I love the Frying Pan.-Edith Zimmerman
