Occasionally I walk by it on my way to NYPenn and think of going in just to see the horror. Not yet though.

Where are they located again? I have to go! Haven’t had them since before the pandemic. Very nice flavors.

Man living in north jersey, using public transit, and never having to step foot in PABT is honestly an achievement to be proud of and I’m entirely serious. That place is one of the worst public buildings in the country

LaMonica McIver, councilwoman of the central ward, specifically believes this unfortunately. She thinks gentrification only occurs when POC are displaced by white people. If it’s POC doing it to other POC it’s not gentrification according to her.

Dam that looks $$$

It’s good but insanely overpriced, like most restaurants and even some food trucks here

Someone should archive this just in case they want to claim they never said this

I keep forgetting to go and try!! I heard good things!! What street is it on again

Every bar that’s not a chain for commuters is open late at night downtown.

Kilkenny, Bar Vanquish, McGovern’s, Jimenez, City Lounge, 3 Levels, QXTs, Neptunes, Newark Local Beer, Lit 21 et al.

This would be shocking if it’s 2am. Almost everything in Newark closes early.

"Picture it: a beautifully crisp quesadilla, but instead of the usual chicken-and-peppers filling, it’s stuffed with the most tender oxtail, buttery shrimp, melty cheese and smoky jollof rice (West African staple made with long-grain rice, tomatoes, onions, spices and vegetables).

This killer mash-up is one of the many globetrotting dishes offered by Afro Taco, a Newark-based food truck overflowing with Ghanaian and Mexican flavors."

Forget bout Dunkin and Chips …. What food places are in there ..

I was in Bello's 2 weeks ago on a sunday and they sent us out promptly at midnight (even as we were getting chummy with the bartender). Given it was a sunday, it was dead except for my group.

And McGovern's will stay open to 3am normally.

Those are some interesting design examples

100% this

If they are receiving tax breaks they definitely should be open to the public later

I asked the same thing this week! I come home from nyc after 7pm. Need extended access

Yo so on a night like tonight, when I got off the train BEFORE the slated 8pm closing, tough shit I get to walk through the rain, cuz they ain’t opened any of the restaurants yet? Fuck outta here.

I don't see why they need to wait for restaurants to open to keep Gateway open later. It's a safe path for crossing the McCarter Highway.

Yes that is thee Calvin Sounder😂 Issues the developer is facing is not meeting with the James street association, and most likely the design of the tower. If we can convince them to make the building have modern art deco facade that pays tribute to the neighborhood and maybe the James street association can have a new headquarters on the inside. The tower should offer an observation deck or floor so people can go inside in visit, than the most of the profits can go to the James Street Association to help restore and prevent historic buildings from getting demolished. And maybe we can incorporate the facade into the new tower

The poor social media manager when this decision gets overturned

I'm still hoping that gateway is a success so that we get more development and more resources in this city.

I went to Essex County for Covid shots a couple of years ago, coming back down the hill walking up to the cut through and the locked doors made me feel so stupid, a guy came out and told me they closed it . Guess he felt bad for me with all my shopping bags .

This is good news. Let’s hope it’s true.

You can count me in. Good on you for organizing this.

Would love to see how we can get this project greenlit // what problems they're facing.

Edit: WAIT IS THAT CALVIN SOUDER!???

I met this guy in Martha's Vineyard, and he coincidentally just LinkedIn requested me a few days ago.

Small world.

> I personally like Ras, but Jesus Christ is his administration borderline incompetent.

Its really sad how much missed potential there is because the elected officials find it so easy to coast
