La Barca Cantina offers Mexican fare and delicious cocktails afloat! Hop onboard the three-story boat at Pier 81 on the Hudson River and sail around the city for incredible skyline and sunset views with New York Cruise Lines. And it has officially set sail!
The boat offers custom artwork by Tlisza Jaurique, the first Mexican-American woman to exhibit at the Met, an incredible top deck for guests to take in the scenery, and most notably, an expansive agave-based spirits menu.
Craig Kanarick, Chief Executive Officer of New York Cruise Lines, was inspired by his travels to Mexico to create this perfect warm weather destination. “Having spent the [years] learning everything I possibly can about agave-based spirits, including mezcal and tequila, it’s a thrill to cast a spotlight on a beverage category that is just as diverse and terroir-driven, yet not as well-known, as wine.” said Kanarick.
For cocktails, make sure to try their Hibiscus Ginger Margarita, infused with Barrow’s Intense Ginger Liqueur from Brooklyn.
Or sip on their Michelada which combines Tecaté Lager, house spice mix, and is served in a frosted glass with a Tajin rim.
Their food menu includes tacos like Chile Relleno, Pork Cochinita Pibil, Macha Shrimp, and a returning favorite: Tony’s Campechano tacos made with beef, pork, and roasted scallions that pays tribute to Tacos Tony, a popular taco destination in Mexico City.
Or if you’re really hungry, order one of their party platters like the Tower of Tacos Fiesta, complete with three of each taco on the menu, or other bites including quesadillas, nachos, or grouper ceviche.
The unique experience is the perfect way to enjoy the warmer weather headed to NYC.
