A health-focused restaurant that launched in Manhattan just about a decade ago will be opening their first Hudson County location next year as Springbone Kitchen is officially coming to Hoboken’s main street.
The brand recently presented a signage application to the city’s Historic Preservation Board during their November 10 meeting. Springbone Kitchen is looking to take over the ground-floor space of 506 Washington Street, which had formerly been occupied by the Vietnamese eatery Bon Banh.
The restaurant was first launched in 2016 in the Greenwich Village neighborhood by co-founders Sam Eckstein and Jordan Feldman. The pair actually grew up together in the Jersey side of the Hudson River in Englewood before launching their business, coming up with the idea for Springbone Kitchen due to the lack of fast-casual spots with healthy food options.
The company has since expanded to 10 locations throughout New York City and is in the process of opening two outposts in Washington DC neighborhoods. The Hoboken location will be their second in New Jersey, following a spot in Westfield.
Springbone Kitchen focuses on bone broth and protein bowls throughout their menu with unique twists like an immunity broth that combines classic chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and vitamin C. The restaurant’s kimchi broth blends their grass-fed beef broth with house-made kimchi, which is complemented by soups such as chicken and rice, butternut squash, and tomato cheddar.
The restaurant does have some heartier fare as well including a honey Dijon salmon bowl that mixes sustainable salmon, roasted broccoli, quinoa, cabbage slaw, and a tangerine drizzle. Their barbacoa bowl also features grass-fed beef, pinto beans, bone broth rice, cabbage slaw, pickled onions, and hot sauce.
Springbone Kitchen pride themselves on making “real food” with minimal grains and sugar, more vegetables, and better meat. The restaurant doesn’t use processed foods or refined sugar and prepares dishes with extra virgin olive oil versus seed oil. Their meats are free-range and grass-fed, and all their produce is organic.
Springbone Kitchen hasn’t released an exact date as to when their Hoboken location could be up and running, and an inquiry placed by Jersey Digs regarding the restaurant’s Washington Street plans has thus far gone unanswered. Construction has not yet begun at the property.
