Liberty House Restaurant Featured on "American Idol" 2011
Jersey City's Waterfront Dining Establishment Restaurant Featured in Regional Judges Round Tryouts
Online, January 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - (Jersey City, New Jersey) - Last fall, judges Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson, J.Lo and host Ryan Seacrest came to Jersey City's premier dining and wedding venue, Liberty House Restaurant in Liberty State Park, to film judges round tryouts for the much-anticipated new season of Fox Television's "American Idol." Season 10 debuts at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19 on Fox and features the New York/New Jersey auditions.
According to the producers of the hit TV singing competition show, Fox chose Liberty House as its setting because of its impeccable interiors and unbeatable views of Manhattan. Liberty House's expansive Grand Ballroom served as the now iconic set where A.I. judges give their sometimes humbling opinions to the hopefuls. The Liberty House episode promises to showcase the usual mix of incredible voices and disastrous absurdities.
"It was exciting to have America's number one show film at our restaurant," said Jeanne Cretella, president of Landmark Hospitality, which owns and operates Liberty House Restaurant, Stone House at Stirling Ridge and Celebrate at Snug Harbor. "Liberty House is the perfect setting for people chasing fame with the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan in the backdrop."
