Grupo Gitano invites patrons to a tropical escape without ever leaving New York, with the opening of its latest oasis, GITANO Island. Just a short ferry ride away on Governors Island, Gitano sees its Garden of Love Restaurant and a dreamy beach club inhabiting 27,000 square feet of waterside property, encompassing an eatery holding up to 600 people, outdoor dining spaces, an open-fired kitchen, and cabanas and lounges for relaxing amid lush greenery. Open for brunch, dinner, and disco experiences (complete with a giant disco ball seen hovering above the outdoor water feature), guests can expect to find a selection of signature Mezcal cocktails and a modern menu of Mexican cuisine filled with dishes like tamales, Mexican lobster rolls, and an exclusive taco menu conceived by Grupo Gitano Executive Chef Antonio Maldonado.
