It&#8217;s a Pan-American seafood spot that celebrates coastal cuisine with a vibe that&#8217;s as breezy as the harbor air.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"80126873-3c8b-2603-b892-f24cb374d0fa\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" loading=\"lazy\" data-component=\"lazy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1777485935_406_image.webp.webp\" alt=\"Six Coasts\" data-caption=\"\" data-credit=\"Photograph: Courtesy Six Coasts\" data-width-class=\"\" data-image-id=\"106399899\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nPhotograph: Courtesy Six Coasts&#13;<\/p>\n<p>At the helm is the powerhouse Chef Scotley Innis (of Hell\u2019s Kitchen and Chopped fame). Known for his bold Caribbean roots, Innis is bringing some heat to the waterfront. The menu is a vibrant love letter to the Americas, featuring showstoppers like Escovitch Whole Fried Snapper with scotch bonnet pickled onions and Snapper Tiradito in a soursop leche de tigre. The Duck Chicharr\u00f3n and Blue Crab &amp; Plantain Croquettes are destined to become legends for both palates and pics.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"80af232d-1826-585c-dadb-0cff07b801b5\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" loading=\"lazy\" data-component=\"lazy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1777485937_26_image.webp.webp\" alt=\"Six Coasts\" data-caption=\"\" data-credit=\"Photograph: Courtesy Six Coasts\" data-width-class=\"\" data-image-id=\"106399900\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nPhotograph: Courtesy Six Coasts&#13;<\/p>\n<p>And of course this coastal cuisine needs a cocktail pairing to match. The bar menu is bright, sunny and vacation-worthy. Whether you\u2019re sipping the &#8220;Coco Melo&#8221; (a refreshing mix of coconut-washed vodka and watermelon shrub) or the &#8220;Rio Rush Hour&#8221; (a spicy cacha\u00e7a and passion fruit blend), you\u2019ll find it nearly impossible not to relax.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"752cf078-05e5-7107-42d9-ad1371d66131\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" loading=\"lazy\" data-component=\"lazy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1777485939_388_image.webp.webp\" alt=\"Six Coasts\" data-caption=\"\" data-credit=\"Photograph: Courtesy Six Coasts\" data-width-class=\"\" data-image-id=\"106399901\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nPhotograph: Courtesy Six Coasts&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking for a romantic sunset dinner or a get-together with friends, Six Coasts is set to be a regular summer hang, with domino games, the rotating lineup of guest chefs and a curated soundtrack. This might just be the next great NYC backyard party.<\/p>\n<p>Six Coasts officially opens on May 9 and will be open Thursdays from 11am to 10pm Fridays from 11am to 11pm, Saturdays from 10am to 11pm and Sundays from 10am to 10pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City\u2019s newest coastal getaway is just a ferry ride away.
