$65 - Maritime Parc: Spectacular Waterfront Dinner for 2

The Deal

The New York Times calls the location of Maritime Parc in Liberty State Park "a striking piece of real estate," and praises the restaurant's New American menu as "ambitious" and "seasonally alert." Take in what Zagat calls "drop-dead views" of the Hudson and Lower Manhattan over a three-course dinner for two at this Jersey City knockout for $65, regularly $130.

This prix fixe dinner package from the restaurant's "quintessential modern menu," according to Inside Jersey magazine, includes the following:

• Any two starters, such as the ricotta dumplings with walnut and sausage pesto -- highlighted by Inside Jersey -- or the butternut squash ravioli with a sage cream reduction

• Any two entrees, like the red snapper, the pan seared scallops and braised short ribs, or the the grass-fed rib eye, praised by New Jersey Monthly for being served with marrow still in the bone

• Two desserts prepared fresh daily by the pastry chef, such as the deep-dish apple pie or the toasted coconut bread pudding (up to $9 each)

• Two glasses of wine: Sip on a glass of the Castillo De Monseran Garnacha or the Teddy Hall Sauvignon Blanc

• Two coffees or teas

Maritime Parc is also a popular site for weddings and fundraising events, spanning three levels of more than 18,000 square feet of space overlooking Liberty Harbor, and located a seven-minute ferry ride from the World Financial Center.
