Are Polish dishes served at Russo's On The Bay?

Yes, we are proud of our flexibility and respect for tradition. Upon request, we prepare a full Polish menu, including homemade pierogi, bigos, red borscht, pork cutlets, or cheesecake, and we also provide a bread and salt welcome.

How large of a wedding can I organize in your halls?

We have halls adapted to every size of party. The Encore room can accommodate up to 575 guests, the Paragon room is ideal for groups from 90 to 260 people, and the intimate Rose Lounge is perfect for parties of up to 55 people.

What makes your halls stand out from others in New York?

We focus on spectacular entrances that you won’t find anywhere else. In the Paragon room, the bride and groom enter via an elevator to the center of the dance floor, and in the Encore room, they emerge from behind a sliding shadow wall. Additionally, we offer a beautiful Promenade with a waterfront view.

Do you provide a space for a wedding ceremony on-site?

Of course. At Russo’s On The Bay, you can organize the entire celebration in one place: from a beautiful wedding ceremony, through a photo session in our interiors and gardens, to a wedding reception until the early morning hours.

Where exactly is the facility located and is there parking?

We are located in Howard Beach at 162-45 Cross Bay Boulevard, on the border of Queens and Brooklyn. We offer our own parking lots and valet service, which ensures full comfort and safety for your guests.

About Us

A Polish wedding with American flair on the border of Queens and Brooklyn

Are you looking for a venue that combines traditional Polish hospitality with a modern, New York-style show? Since 1987, Russo’s On The Bay has set the standard for event hosting, offering more than just a banquet hall – we create a spectacle. We are located in Howard Beach, which guarantees convenient access for guests from Greenpoint and Maspeth, as well as from Long Island.

Why Poles choose Russo’s On The Bay:

Menu with a Polish soul: You don’t have to give up tradition. We serve homemade pierogi, bigos, borscht, pork cutlets, and we welcome the bride and groom with bread and salt.
Entrances that say “WOW”: In the Paragon room, you will arrive by elevator directly to the center of the dance floor, and in the Encore room, you will emerge from behind a sliding shadow wall – a show that the competition doesn’t have.
VIP standard included: We offer our own parking lots, private suites for hosts (dressing rooms), and service at the “Best of the Boro” level.
View and space: Our rooms accommodate from 65 to even 575 people, and our Promenade with a view of the water is the perfect place for a welcome cocktail.

Tradition meets luxury – from bread and salt to an elevator entrance to the dance floor.

Organizing a wedding is the art of connecting generations. At Russo’s On The Bay, we respect your roots – we provide service for traditional “oczepiny” (capping ceremony), singing “Sto lat” together, and a Polish menu that tastes like home. At the same time, we give you American “glamour”: spectacular LED lighting, screens for photo presentations, and halls that take your breath away. Regardless of whether you are planning an intimate dinner for 65 people or a grand wedding for 500 guests – with us, every guest feels like a VIP.

We offer full technical facilities (Wi-Fi, screens), an exquisite menu (from breakfasts to banquets), and a location with easy access from every part of New York. Stand out from the competition by organizing your event at a venue awarded the “Best of the Boro” title.
