The Vu restaurant & Cocktail Lounge at the Hyatt Regency offers one of the best waterfront views of the lower Manhattan skyline from New Jersey.

The restaurant's floor to ceiling windows allow for unobstructed views of the NYC Skyline and of the Statue of Liberty.

Have dinner in the Vu Lounge. Best time to come is immediately after sunset when the lights of Manhattan start to twinkle and the Manhattan skyline lights up to provide a beautiful backdrop to your evening dining experience.

The VU cocktail lounge has a vibrant 75 seat bar with tables and sofas and a beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty. The lounge menu serves light fare.

In a neighborhood where there are many fine dining restaurants with excellent food, and while the food at the Vu is mediocre, the reason to come here is for the ambiance and world class waterfront view.

Open seven days/week for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner,  beginning @ 7am.
