Purslane Cafe To Open At Prospect Park Boathouse July 4

BROOKLYN, NY — A new café is set to open at the Prospect Park Boathouse Terrace starting July 4.

Purslane Café will provide healthy, sustainably sourced food, sandwiches, pastries and coffee daily as well as summer cocktails, wine and beer on select evenings, officials said.

“The Prospect Park Boathouse is one of the park’s most beloved and scenic destinations, and a historic landmark. The Alliance is dedicated to providing more food options in the park for the community, and Purslane Café will offer delicious, consciously sourced food and drinks for all to enjoy,” Morgan Monaco, Prospect Park Alliance President said in a statement.

Purslane Café will be open daily from 8 am-3 pm with outdoor seating. The café will also host live music and small pop-up events throughout the summer. You can visit the café's Instagram page for select evening hours.

Purslane Cafe joins other food amenities that the Alliance has brought to the park in recent years, including Winner in the Park, King David Tacos, Lark by the Park, Smorgasburg and more.

“Brooklyn is The Oberon Group’s backyard and home to the majority of our restaurants, so we’re excited to be able to partner with Prospect Park Alliance and bring this new offering to such a historic part of the park,” Henry Moynahan Rich, Managing Partner of The Oberon Group, said in a statement.
