The new eatery combines the talents of owner Michael Giannopoulos and directors of operations Andrew Christianson and Karl Khambatta.

"Set along the Hudson River with iconic views of the Manhattan skyline, Cov recently opened to much anticipation and is set to become a coveted waterfront escape," they said in a release.

"Designed as the ultimate setting for leisurely lunches and golden hour aperitivos, this vibrant waterfront spot delivers creative menus and lively energy in equal measure. Guests can expect unforgettable evenings on the water."

The menu, by Culinary Director Juan Carlos "JC" Ortega, showcases a curated chilled bar and is designed for sharing with ample selections of seafood, pastas, grilled specialties, and more.

Beverage Director Jeremy LeBlanche whips up innovative and interactive cocktails, representatives said.

"COV combines exceptional design, impeccable service, and a vibrant atmosphere, transforming Pier 115 into a premier destination," they noted. "More than just a seasonal attraction, this full-service restaurant features a spacious indoordining room and a far-reaching alfresco deck that are both available for private events."
