Island Oyster, the first restaurant on Governors Island, is set to close on October 31, 2025, after eight years of operation. The Trust for Governors Island is seeking proposals for a new seasonal food and beverage operator to take over the space in 2026. The site boasts stunning views and attracts nearly one million visitors annually. The new operator will need to offer diverse dining options accessible to a wide audience and focus on sustainability in their food offerings.
"The site offers spectacular unobstructed views of the Lower Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbor... nearly one million individuals visiting the Island each year."
"Applicants are to offer substantial dine-in and take-away options with an approachable concept that is appealing to a broad audience."
