Sources have confirmed that Ruth’s Chris Steak House will be taking up residence in the ground floor retail at 499 Washington Boulevard, an office building in the heart of Jersey City’s Newport neighborhood.
The space, in a highly visible location, has been vacant since Azucar, a Cuban restaurant, closed almost two years ago. 499 Washington is home to several big-name companies like Fidelity Investment, Forbes, and Tory Burch. Plans for new signage outside the future Ruth’s Chris restaurant are scheduled to be heard by the Planning Board at their June 27th meeting.
