Gov­er­nors Island may be New York City’s best place to pic­nic, but some­times you may not want to bring your bas­ket! We’ve got you cov­ered this year with more din­ing options than ever. 

This week, we announced that the Island’s Liggett Ter­race will offer not one but TWO pop up beer gar­dens! Island favorite Lit­tle Eva’s returns for it’s 6^th sea­son start­ing May 1, serv­ing frozen drinks, sump­tu­ous grilled plates and fresh grain sal­ads fea­tur­ing local and Island-grown pro­duce in a seat­ed atmosphere. 

In addi­tion, East Vil­lage vet­er­ans Alpha­bet City Beer Co. and Edi and the Wolf will bring the best of Avenue C to Gov­er­nors Island with a sea­son-long pop up, serv­ing sausages, char­cu­terie, sal­ads and even a beer brewed spe­cial­ly for Gov­er­nors Island. YUM! Alpha­bet City Beer Co. / Edi and the Wolf will open in the West­ern cor­ner of Liggett Ter­race in May. 

In Jan­u­ary, we announced that Gov­er­nors Island will also be home to Island Oys­ter this sum­mer. Slat­ed to open in ear­ly sum­mer, Island Oys­ter, a pop-up oys­ter bar and beer gar­den from the crew behind Grand Banks, will bring a sus­tain­able sum­mer fare menu and sig­na­ture cock­tail pro­gram to the fer­ry land­ing at Gov­er­nors Island. With sweep­ing views of New York Har­bor, the Low­er Man­hat­tan sky­line and the Brook­lyn Bridge, Island Oys­ter will remain open into the evening hours (after the rest of the park clos­es), enabling guests to expe­ri­ence the best sun­sets and night­time views in New York City. 

Stay tuned for more infor­ma­tion on open­ing dates and hours, and be sure to include Gov­er­nors Island on your NYC food & drink des­ti­na­tion list this spring and sum­mer. Cheers!
