Plates for Parks at Bayside Park

Celebrate Jersey City's dynamic food scene and enjoy a delicious three-course brunch in one of our beautiful parks. Each dinner will be created by a guest chef, and all proceeds will support the Jersey City Parks Coalition in our mission to empower residents to develop, renovate, use and maintain their community parks and public spaces of Jersey City; thereby revitalizing neighborhoods and lifting communal and human spirits.

Please contact us with any food allergies or for vegan/vegetarian options.

Brunch starts at 12p SHARP! Late attendees are not guaranteed service from 1st to 3rd course.

Children age 7 to 13 will be seated in the picnic area and will receive a brown bag lunch. There is no table service in the picnic area.
