Harry’s Daughter in Jersey City serves up vibrant Caribbean fusion with signature cocktails, lively vibes, and homey island eats in a cozy tropical setting.
"Harry’s Daughter combines Jamaican and Trinidadian elements — via fashion designer Ria Ramkissoon and actor Alasdair Cotter — into one big Caribbean restaurant. There are Trini bakes with a variety of seaworthy fillings, jerk chicken, and some African American dishes as well. Located in the Communipaw neighborhood, the restaurant is convenient to the Statue of Liberty and Liberty Science Center, making it great for kids. — RS" - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart
"The backyard at this Caribbean spot in Bergen-Lafayette has picnic tables set up for outdoor dining. Get some rum punch, curry goat with roti, and a fantastic bake with jerk chicken inside fried dough. They also have live reggae on weekends, and you can keep track of the schedule on their Instagram." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

"We’d happily eat a bake with jerk chicken inside fried dough, or curry goat with roti from Harry’s Daughter no matter where they were served. But the fact that you can get them in a plant-filled space with egg-shaped swings and cocktail mugs shaped like Easter Island heads while live reggae plays in the background makes this Caribbean spot in Bergen-Lafayette one of our favorite places to hang out in Jersey City." - matt tervooren
