Copy. I wanted to get a box for my students. I’m guessing 12 would work for 24 kids ? I hope it’s not an absurd price

Yeah but you gotta split it. It’s too big for one person. It’s like a spot you go to with a friend, get a coffee or tea and split a cookie.

Also was anyone else hoping this would be like, downtown outside ? Instead of hidden in the junction. Like that’s mad out the way for no reason. Shoulda put that hoe on Halsey

It’s like a piece of cake. Probably best to expect to split a cookie with a friend. I’d be dead if I ate a whole one.
It’s good though!

Ok. But They are paying $100 per square foot in Tenant Improvement for All Other Tenants so it’s not like they are giving him much extra

They are not paying Up Front costs for Uncle Willies Wings. They just saved a spot for him. He’s a Black War Veteran. You are right there is good in it But for all the wrong reasons. They should integrate more with the Newark Community.

I mean local businesses can rent the space they just have to call and pay the rent. It’s actually quite nice that they paid all the upfront cost to a local business.
With that being said, I’m still upset how the place closes so damn early! That ruins rhe experience for the residents of the city

In regard to both architecture and food, you will be very disappointed.

Just for the Publicity the Landlord gave a space to ONE Black Owned Business. And It is the worst space in the building all the way at the end.
There are no Local Newark Businesses from the Ironbound or Downtown Newark. These big Developers come to Newark acting like they own the place. Not cool

Does anyone remember the name of the Black-Owned chicken place that used to be in the gateway? Their mac and cheese was amazing. I hope the owners are doing ok.

Damn that sounds pretty lame.
I'm also interested in the architecture as a former arch student, so I guess I'll plan on a coffee and a cookie and a brief visit lol.

Theres not much to see.
Pharmacy thats been there for years (good)
Dunkin that closes at 2
Jersey Mikes that closes at 4
Cookies that close at 6
Thats it. If the construction doors on the other food places are open, youll notice many are 6 months away from opening.

I need to go check it out...
Judging by the recent coverage I've seen in here....
the consensus is that its pretty nice, and a welcome addition to the city, but the hours are shit and it kinda fcks over the locals in favour of the commuters/visitors/devil's fans?
Anything else i'm missing?/should know before going down

The grant it not just for tree plating "a $1.2 million grant to plant more trees on its gritty streets and remove dead or hazardous trees in five target neighborhoods." Tree removal is pretty expensive, especially in an urban setting.
