Peanut Butter & Co.
After biking on the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, a trail that circumnavigates the island, go a few blocks inland to Peanut Butter & Co. Sandwich Shop. The company makes all of its peanut butter on site and offers numerous variations on the typical sandwich. Try the Peanut Butter BLT with fresh cut bacon or The Elvis, featuring a grilled Peanut Butter sandwich with bananas and honey. For a throwback to childhood, try Ants on a Log for an appetizer. Non-peanut butter lovers have sandwich options as well.
