About Ellington in the Park

Ellington in the Park is a lovely spot for all ages, including dogs. It offers nice drinks and good food, with playgrounds nearby. The outdoor setting provides beautiful waterfront views over the Hudson, and it is especially peaceful during the crisp city autumn. The location is accessible via bike path or a stroll through Riverside Park or from the UWS. While some found the service lacking at times, others enjoyed the ambiance and menu. The river view is a highlight, especially during sunset when visitors can admire the views over New Jersey. The menu may be slightly overpriced, but the seating and setup are perfect for families, with many kids around enjoying the large sandy area. The staff are friendly and accommodating, making it a great place to relax with friends and family. Visitors often enjoy grabbing coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evening, or sharing a pitcher of beer with chips and guac, tacos, and fries. The outdoor seating is only open during the warmer months, so visitors should plan accordingly. Parking is best found on the street, though it may require a walk. Overall, it is a serene, family-friendly waterfront spot that feels like a hidden gem, offering a great place to relax and enjoy the view.
