Entrees include a Dry-Aged 40 oz Porterhouse with salsa verde, pommes pont neuf and the Duck Breast with braised red cabbage, persimmon and star anise.
The new restaurant also includes Porter Provisions, an in-house cafe and bakery that showcases Glick’s house made pastries and ice cream, as well as La Colombe coffee.
Porter is located at RiverHouse11 steps away from the NY Waterway Port Imperial Ferry Terminal and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, on the edge of the Hudson River, providing a seamless access to visitors from Manhattan.
