About

Bar: Full bar

Lakeside dining with a deck that hangs over the Central Park Lake. The Boathouse has been here since 1874, part of Olmsted and Vaux's original park vision. You'll find American fare with full bar service, and the vibe is romantic but mixed crowds — couples, families, and queer diners all fit in. Venetian gondola rides and rowboat rentals add to the experience, though Yelp suggests the restaurant may be permanently closed.

Reservations are accepted and outdoor seating is confirmed. The menu focuses on American cuisine with a Sunday brunch option. Since it's in Central Park, nearby stops like Clinton St. Baking Company are good for a casual bite if the Boathouse isn't operating.
