Park & Sixth Closed
Although no formal announcement has been made, Park & Sixth reportedly closed their doors a few weeks ago after months of whispers it was for sale.
Prior to Labor Day, a sign went up on the entry door to Park & Sixth announcing the restaurant was closing for vacation and would reopen 9/6. However, the restaurant hasn't been open since and the sign remains on the door with curtains drawn and lights off. Some employees have reported being told they were closing and that 8/28 would be the last week of service but weren't given any further information about the future of the restaurant.
Park & Sixth was the final restaurant left in Jersey City from owner/operator Brian Dowling. It was his original restaurant as well as his longest-running. Initially located at 364 Grove, Park & Sixth was relocated further down Grove to 279 Grove Street close to three years ago. The original space was turned into Dullboy which Dowling then sold to Orale earlier this year. During this time, he also opened Park & Sixth Gastropub in Paulus Hook which was reopened briefly as The Draper before being shuttered for good and put up for sale.
Known for their burgers and indulgent bar food, Park & Sixth was a neighborhood favorite for some time although once they moved, it seemed as though they were never able to regain their footing.
Unfortunately, at this point, no further information is available but stay tuned for any updates.
Park and 6th actually opened originally in Hoboken as a sandwich shop with prepared foods and meats. A friend of mine used to get marinated skirt steak from them on the regs. It's also the first time I saw buffalo chicken salad (like chicken salad not a chicken salad) Once they moved over to JC they change it up an bit and things were good for a while. Then expansion started and the quality went way downhill. That's all...love your blog.

DeleteToo bad. It was at its best when it was located where Dullboy currently is.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the move had a definite impact.
