One of Jersey City’s most beloved restaurants will finally reopen as Harry’s Daughter has set an official date for its relaunch.

The Caribbean-Irish fusion restaurant, located at 339 Communipaw Avenue, was forced to close last June after a devastating kitchen fire. Jersey Digs covered the restaurant’s opening way back in 2017, and it has since become a mainstay not only of Bergen Lafayette’s dining scene but also of Jersey City’s best and most unique restaurants.
