Smorgasbar Not Returning to Jersey City for Summer 2026; Opening New Concept on Governors Island Instead

by Erin Lanahan - The Hoboken Girl

Six Coasts is the innovative new restaurant concept arriving at Governors Island in May 2026, occupying a spectacular 32,000-square-foot waterfront space. Created by the team behind Smorgasburg, this coastal dining destination will feature flavors inspired by the shores of the Americas, combining seasonal seafood and tropical cocktails with vibrant cultural programming and unrivaled views of the New York Harbor.

This ambitious project led by Smorgasburg follows the success of their previous concepts in Jersey City, now bringing a large-scale hospitality experience to the former Island Oyster site. With a focus on sustainability and a design that maximizes its privileged location, Six Coasts promises to transform the leisure offerings on Governors Island, becoming the epicenter of summer entertainment with live music and a world-class culinary proposal.
