Cowgirl Seahorse

There's a ramshackle charm to this family-friendly maritime saloon, a casual spot to relax over a beer and nachos or dig into coconut shrimp. The nearby South Street Seaport is a tourist destination, to be sure, but an increasing number of locals have moved into the area due to its proximity to Wall Street. That means a lively scene at the lustrous, dark wood bar, with drinks like frozen margaritas. In addition to fried shrimp, tacos, blackened fish and burgers are desserts like coconut custard pie.
