Gowanus Yacht Club Alert: Today's Special

CARROLL GARDENS— "Today Only: Duck Confit With Every Beer." [EaterWire]

Eater Inside: Gowanus Yacht Club

Welcome back to Gowanus Yacht Club mania here at Eater. Place opened yesterday, serving its first customers well into what turned into a surprisingly chilly night. We're expecting the beer garden to become even more tempting in the coming weeks as the nights warm up. Until then, there's always these 75 degree afternoons. Not a typical Eater Inside job, the above gallery was taken guerrilla-style just prior to the opening. NB: Waiters, you must supply a personal essay explaining why you deserve to work at such a fine institution.

GYC Watch: Opening Sometime Today

CARROLL GARDENS— OMFG. According to this picture, taken moments ago outside the Gowanus Yacht Club, the GYC's opening, the event of the spring, is going to happen any minute now. We called yesterday and were told the big moment would come at 4 p.m. tomorrow, but it looks like the crew is ahead of schedule. We will alert you when we know exactly when the beer garden is open to the public, but until then, start thinking up excuses for why you're going to cut out early today.

EaterWire: Gowanus Yacht Club 2 Days Out

CARROLL GARDENS—A Eater correspondent lets us in on the status of everyone's favorite summer restaurant/beer garden, Gowanus Yacht Club: new tables are out, extra soundproofing has been added to the walls, and a chalkboard out front says, "Opening Any Day Now." We're all still waiting on the menu. A call to the restaurant confirms: They are opening this Friday at 4 p.m. Stay tuned for the around the clock coverage and/or liveblogging of the momentous event.

GrillGate at Gowanus Yacht Club Opening Weekend

This weekend saw one of the true rites of spring in New York City—the first weekend of the season for the Gowanus Yacht Club on Smith Street in Carroll Gardens. When Eater operatives rolled in Saturday night, however, they were met with a cruel surprise—the outdoor grill that has served up burgers, sausage, and grilled hotdogs has been deep-sixed, replaced with a simple wooden counter (above right). Apparently, neighbors on the street, vexed by noise and odors, discovered the grill was illegally installed and successfully petitioned to have it removed during the offseason. The venue had no choice but to cooperate. For now, as the season dawns, the GYC is serving up (boiled) hot dogs only—a fine treat, to be sure, but not the menu of yore we'd come to expect.

Small upsides: a fancier beer list this season, and an ever-so-slightly upgraded bathroom area. Still, once news of GrillGate spreads, can street protests from angry GYC patrons be far behind?
