Caribbean fusion spot with craft cocktails, live music & flavorful dishes
"There aren’t many restaurants in Bergen Lafayette, and Harry’s Daughter is one of the few Caribbean spots and the only one with a bar in Jersey City. Order a rum punch at the Art Deco bar (which is rumored to have come off a ship in the 1940s) and the rich, perfectly thick curry goat or the tender jerk chicken egg rolls. You’ll probably hear some Bob Marley remixes from the DJ, as well as old-school RnB and 2000s hip-hop. Catch the live band on Wednesday evenings and Reggae in the Summer on Sunday evenings. And on Thursdays, the rum punch is only $8, all day." - matt tervooren, nisha vedi pawar, kendal nicole lambert
"Harry’s Daughter combines Jamaican and Trinidadian elements thanks to fashion designer Ria Ramkissoon and actor Alasdair Cotter. On the menu, you’ll find 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. — MM" - Melissa McCart
"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
"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
"You can find bakes — frybread slit and filled with smoked herring or another fish salad — and a perfect variation of this ($15) at Harry’s Daughter, a Jamaican and Trinidadian restaurant in Jersey City’s Communipaw neighborhood." - Robert Sietsema
