Another Restaurant Option For Roosevelt Island Residents -Bridge View Cafe, Just Across The Roosevelt Island Bridge
A reader points out another option for Roosevelt Island residents looking for nearby restaurant options - the Bridge View Cafe located just across the Roosevelt Island Bridge on 36th Avenue and Vernon B'lvd in Long Island City. The reader writes:
I don’t know whether you post things like this but I would like to put in a plug for the new restaurant on the other side of our bridge at Vernon Boulevard.Their menu is here
It’s called the BRIDGE VIEW CAFÉ
Without Roosevelt Island’s patronage, I fear that it will meet the same fate as the restaurant it replaced.
A group of us ate there last night and were very pleased.
The food was good, nicely served and the prices are very, very reasonable.
They advertised once in the WIRE but didn’t get any response and can’t afford to continue advertising if it doesn’t bring them any results.
As it is another choice for us here on the island who are so restaurant starved – I think it behooves us to do everything possible to help them stay in business.

It looks like that location is unable to keep a tenant longer than a year or two. It was that Hungarian(?) restaurant before. Now it is "Bridge View Cafe"? I am very sure the name promises more than the place can actually offer view-wise.
I must say, it is a very bad location for a restaurant. How many RI folks venture over the bridge at night for food instead of taking the tram to Manhattan (or use local options)?
I liked the menu and prices, so I'll give it a try.
Going to this restaurnt is a good choice for folks who live in Manhattan Park. They need just to cross the bridge (for free). To go to Manhattan, they need to walk 10 minutes to the tram and then pay $4.50 for a tram ride.
Since we all depend on public transportation to get off this island are there folks who actually have pay-per-ride cards? I'd assume that we all have unlimited passes.
I am also a little wary about the neighborhood. It's okay during the day but at night it gives me the creeps a bit.
This place is crazy good! The owner is super sweet and the food is really good and interesting, flavor flavor flavor!!! Everything we have had there has been delicious and well plated and her prices are crazy cheap! The physical space is so well done, higher end feel but very comfortable and bright. This place needs to make it, because I cant stand the thought of not having it over there!! And the neighborhood is fine, I am an Upper Westsider transplanted to Roosevelt Isle, and I have no hesitation to walk over the bridge, especially for such a wonderful dining experience!!
