The restaurant with the most "flair" by far of any in LIC (maybe Queens?) is the Waterfront Crab House. You may have walked passed it a dozen times, near the Taxi Beach and the tennis courts at the Queens West waterfront. But if you have not stuck your head in, you are missing something.

It's nearly 100 years old, has a mini-museum of boxing champions' gloves, and has hosted US Cabinet officials...you'll have to read their printed history when you go.
