In the heart of one of the most diverse cities in the U.S., The Horseshoe Kitchen & Bar in Jersey City is a vibrant new restaurant from the teams behind Brewshot Cafe at Liberty Harbor and Butterfunk Biscuit in Harlem.
The Horseshoe Kitchen & Bar pays homage to the international community that built Jersey City with a fusion menu by Top Chef finalist and author, Chef Chris Scott. Chef Scott, who brings passion and experience to the kitchen, draws inspiration from a global pantry of flavors and influences– connecting the past and present in his soul-food-with-a-twist.
In 1871, what is now the Soho West neighborhood of Jersey City was known as “The Horseshoe.” This area, which gives this new restaurant its home and name, describes both the shape of the gerrymandered second ward, the iron that poured from its steel mills, and perhaps, a bit of luck for new immigrants hoping to make it big in Jersey City.
The Jersey City of the 19th century was humming: noisy and chaotic—the terminus for millions of trains, trucks, immigrants and goods arriving from everywhere! Factories churned out tobacco, soap, meat, iron and more, belching smoke and opportunity. People came to build their new lives in this new world. Many can trace their family lines right back to this area—and many more benefited from the spoils of The Horseshoe.
Today, we embrace the history of our neighborhood and pay homage to the passion and industry that built it. The Horseshoe Kitchen & Bar is home—everyone can feel welcome and valued in it.
