Hopefully that's true. I loved their food. Amazing homemade hummus.

And the sidewalks are a complete mess, broken, uneven concrete, some sidewalks don’t even have concrete it’s just sand, many sidewalks have been destroyed to make illegal parking spots in front of houses and multi family bldgs, it’s a completely mess and safety hazard, AND NO-ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT! Cars permanently double parked on one way st. Blocking traffic on the daily basis SMH

I saw a hand written sign up saying they were moving to teachers village

It hasn't been that long. I was ordering from there over the summer. Maybe even into the fall?

I think November? Maybe October. So not that long ago. I do recall my wife called and we had to wait a week or two. Maybe wait till after the new year and ask again.

I just checked their website with my own zip code (Forest Hill) and it said "We currently service 07104, however we have no scheduled pickup dates at this time. Please check back later, call 888-445-8787, or there are other ways to give to help support Lupus Foundation of America."

How recent was the pickup you mentioned?

Thanks!

I saw an oyster bar opened up on west market right next to prudential, haven’t given it a try yet but if you guys don’t want to travel too far from prudential

The Lupus charity will come to your house. https://www.lupus.org/ways-to-give/donate-household-goods

But they will also take your Amazon package if it’s all out in the same place. 😖 Had to call them and by some miracle they found it and were able to return it.

Thanks! As it turns out, Green Sauce is pretty much what I like, I just needed to see the ingredients. Excited to try it. Newark has quite a bit of Spanish Cuisine.

Assuming you checked Salvation Army and Goodwill? How about Catholic Charities?

You can also consider Spanish Tavern (closer to Prudential) and Campino Restaurant a few minutes away but if you are driving is not a problem.

Damn it’s been closed that long? Feels like I was just there not that long ago. Thanks for the link I had no idea

It’s been a while now. About a year. All the occupants of that building were kicked out for this project (that’s why just fish moved to halsey street)

Thanks so much!

And once those tax breaks expire they leave

Seabras, Fornos of Spain, Chateau of Spain, Bello’s Pub (seems to only be clams in a fire sauce) or even seafood boils spots there like Red Crab.

Thank you everyone for your responses. We went to Swahili Village, and we were very happy with how it went. Food was excellent, generous portions, attentive service and we liked the atmosphere. Total damage $100.

You oppose the building of housing based on a desire to exclude those who would potentially live there. That is the text book definition of bigotry ; no redefinition required 🤣. Look it up

Extremely funny that you have redefined the word bigotry to mean anyone opposed to flooding neighborhoods with luxury housing.

Not surprised; bigots tend to deflect when in a tight spot 😂🤣

I can't take this seriously.

You evade the core question ; why is 100% “luxury” housing “bad” for the neighborhood? If you concede that the problem is fundamentally one of supply; then any net new units should be welcomed.

I know some of the new transplants who live in the “luxury” units personally; contrary to the prevailing wisdom on this sub; they are ordinarily Americans who took out student loans to go to collage and got a degree that enabled them to get good paying jobs. They want to be financially responsible and choose to live in Newark vs. other higher cost of living cities in the area. According to you, these people are not welcome in Newark! They should seek housing elsewhere! How is this not bigotry? wanting them to be excluded not because of anything they have done as individuals, but based on their membership of a group ( those who can afford more in rent) ; that is the textbook definition of bigotry!

Housing built to cater to this group is somehow reducing affordability; how? Either affordability is a function of supply or it is not, if it is, then any addition to the supply will help ease costs over time. If it is not, then is bigotry really the answer? I contend that it is not! My answer is to build more housing at every price point including subsidized housing for those who can’t afford current prices. Private developers say they can’t build affordable units because the economics don’t work. The state has to either call their bluff and build the units themselves or put up and subsidize the builds. It’s as simple as that! Instead, an entire industry has been build around encouraging people to hate and blame their neighbors.

Instead of holding elected officials accountable for the decades of corruption and policy failures that got us here, you want the Amazon truck driver who makes 45k a year to hate the Amazon programmer who makes 100k a year. Has it never occurred to you that both are workers, subject to the same insecurities and market forces? That both of them have more in common with each other than Jeff Bezos or his C-suite?

Sure because of the incentives there is now construction on every corner in the city….great for the growth of the city. However at what point do you stop with the tax breaks? With the influx of people that will be coming the city is missing out on millions it will need to sustain roads transportation ect…At this point if you’re in the business of development Newark is on your radar. Anybody interested in getting a piece of the pie now is late and no large breaks should be given
