An RFP has been released for bids for the Pier 5 concession in Brooklyn Bridge Park. (It is currently occupied by Ample Hills Creamery).

This location offers an opportunity to cater to a wide variety of customers from its location adjacent to the recently opened sports fields and picnic peninsula at Pier 5. The operation of this concession is intended to be of a premium quality in terms of both design and menu content. BBP is seeking a concessionaire tenant who will operate and maintain the concession at the highest standards, making a significant improvement to the quality and ambience of the Park.

The site is part of a larger effort to transform underutilized buildings and piers on Brooklyn’s East River Waterfront, stretching 1.3 miles from Atlantic Avenue to north of the Manhattan Bridge, into an iconic waterfront park known as Brooklyn Bridge Park. This 85-acre project is the most significant park development in Brooklyn in over a century with the substantial support of the City and the State.  This assistance includes significant capital investments and coordination of state and local support embodied in the adoption of a Modified General Project Plan for the Brooklyn Bridge Park Civic and Land Use Improvement Project.  The MGPP governs implementation of a master plan for the area and parkland designed by award-winning landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc.
