Description

Named after American Revolutionary War legend, Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee a Princeton grad, cavalry major general, U.S. congressman, Governor of Virginia, and father of General Lee, this dining establishment serves up gourmet American cuisine in a bright and airy environment.

Harry’s legend lives on at a tavern in Jersey City’s Paulus Hook (Exchange Place) section, near the Hudson River. Paulus Hook is the site of a battle where Lee and his men, though badly outnumbered, captured 400 British soldiers from the fort that once occupied the Jersey City waterfront.
