Central Park Boathouse Reopens Snack Bar and Boat Concession This Month

The Boathouse in Central Park is working with the city’s parks department to move toward reopening. New Operator Legends Hospitality Announced last winter.

But it doesn’t happen all at once.

An 80-seat outdoor venue, The Boathouse Cafe, will open later this month with a new menu.

The same goes for rowing boat rentals through an online booking system.

However, the large dining room and bar overlooking the lake are “planned to open in late summer (August or September),” Legend representative Stacey Escudero said.

“The phased approach allows us to quickly restore some of the previously lost union jobs while allocating adequate time for necessary interior/structural/exterior renovations,” she said. .
