LOVE this part of town - such a great vibe... combo of hipster, hippy and just overall one of the coolest places I've ever been. Been years since I was in the city, so I've forgotten restaurants, but you can stumble into spot there and have a very New York experience ;)
Um, OK, where the heck have I been? I grew up in NYC and had no idea this was here! It's actually the lighthouse that inspired the children's book, "The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge". There's even a "Little Red Lighthouse Day" in September.
It's basically fries with a bunch of different sauces to try! A fun stop for a snack. I recommend the mango chutney and the vietnamese sauce! It was yummy :)
