The View
Where Brooklyn Meets the Water
Brooklyn has no shortage of waterfront real estate — from the manicured promenades of Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO to the industrial edges of Red Hook and Greenpoint. But the stretch of waterfront in Bay Ridge is something different. Here, the harbor opens up wide with unobstructed views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Staten Island across the Narrows, and ships moving through New York Harbor. It is quieter, greener, and more residential than the Instagram-famous waterfront spots to the north.
Pier 69 Market sits right at the gateway to this waterfront. From our location at 10 Bay Ridge Avenue, you are a two-minute walk from the Shore Road promenade, five minutes from the American Veterans Memorial Pier, and a few blocks from the NYC Ferry terminal. The connection between our cafe and the water is not just geographic — it shapes who we are and how our customers use us.
Morning joggers start their run at Pier 69 with a cortado and finish it with a smoothie. Families heading to the waterfront playground fill up on breakfast sandwiches and acai bowls. Photographers chasing the sunset over the Verrazzano grab an iced coffee for the golden hour. Cyclists on the Shore Road path pull off for a cold brew. The waterfront is not just nearby — it is woven into the daily life of this cafe.
