WELCOME TO ELLINGTON IN THE PARK

Ellington in the Park replaced the former Hudson Beach Cafe.  When the sun sets over the Hudson River, the beach-themed restaurant becomes a trendy yet casual scene fueled by drinks, live music, big-screen TVs, and fresh food by Chef John Loughran of Ellington on Broadway and Banc Cafe. Ellington in the Park is a hidden treasure for those who are ready to make the most of summer and willing to venture out of the usual party spots. An eclectic buzz instills fond memories in all who experience NYC’s newest destination for relaxation.

The top-level bar of Ellington in the Park is made from a repurposed shipping container, and the lower-level lounge area is adjacent to all sorts of outdoor fun including beach volleyball, soccer, and softball. Ellington In The Park opens April - November every year. 11am to 11pm. Book your next party today. 

While you're enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Ellington in the Park, don't forget to explore the beauty of Riverside Park. Riverside Park Conservancy cares for 6 miles of the parkland between 59th and 181st Streets.
