Lunch near Liberty State park

[lancastermike]

Will be coming up to visit Ellis Island with my wife and her brother and sister and their spouses on Aug 21. Their ancestors all arrived from Ireland at Ellis Island and they have never visited before.

Looking for someplace to have lunch after we do the visit. Type of cuisine is not as important as relative closeness to the park. Not looking to go to far out of the way. If this was a food trip I would not mind, but just looking for someplace close to relax a bit before the trip home.

Thanks to all

I don't have much experience in Jersey City as a leader to delicious food, though I sure can follow and did just a few weeks ago to Azucar (495 Washington Blvd) - wonderful, fresh, deliciously spiced Cuban- and ohhhhhhh what a Mojito!

Zeppelin Hall is a new Beer Garden in the area. Haven't been there yet, but sounds like a nice place to grab a bite (outside if the weather is nice) and realx.. Looks like it's very close to Liberty State Park...

If you like diners, the Brownstone is a good choice for comfort, plus they have a parking lot.

So far, the efforts from Zeppelin Hall's kitchen have been rather terrible, but it's early yet. Let's hope they work it out.

Not sure how close you need it to be, but the Ironbound in Newark isn't far and there's some awesome Portugese and Rodizio joints there. Shouldn't be more than a 20 minute drive and well worth it. And it's on the way home.

if newark is an option I would recommend -Mompou

Tapas, Wine Bar, Lounge -77 Ferry St. Newark, NJ 07105

The Sangria is outstanding, if the weather cooporates there is a great garden in the back -- the tapas selection is plentyful, fresh, and the atmosphere is ideal.

We went to the Brownstone mostly because it was so close as we were real hungry after a long day of touring.

It was real good diner food and lots of it. There was not a person in our group of 6 that finished what they brought out.

Thanks to everyone who supplied a tip.
