Oh you should definitely go then.

I’m a DC United fan. Don’t think I’d be allowed in that stadium 😅

The RedBulls have 2 home matches in March (4th & 18th). You can probably walk to the arena.

No problem.

Plenty to see in Newark, but definitely recommend you get out to Hoboken at least once(most bars per SQ mile in the US I believe), and Grove St in Jersey City has tons of bars/restaurants too

Much appreciated

I just came from Mampou. Weird atmosphere after the lunch crowd left. I was the only patron and the bartender sat on their phone the whole time. Accommodating, but I had to get their attention.

Asked another employee about the soccer bars and they couldn’t give me one bar unfortunately. I’d figure with the large Portuguese & Latin American population there would be more excitement around the game

Super easy. Head down to Penn station, and you have a few options.

Can take NJ transit to Hoboken (tho more frequent out of Newark Broad st) NY Penn Station (mid town, smack in the middle of everything)

Or Path train, which can get you to Hoboken Jersey City Or multiple stops in NYC, from World Trade Center (downtown), all the way up to 33rd street (only a few blocks from NY Penn station)

Both can be absolutely painful and unreliable, but for the most part, you'll have one of them running fine. Occasionally both systems shit the bed and it's a massive clusterfuck

I’m bound to make it into NYC at some point. How is the train system? I’m used to DC metro. Inconsistent.

>What are the go to cafes, restaurants and bars?

Casa de Paco, little Tijuana, Ferry st or Mcwhorters bbq, Altas Horas would be my ironbound recommendations. Prob some others I'm forgetting.

McGovern's (full bar & bar food), Newark Local (just beer, sometimes local bbq truck out front), Marcos B&P (upscale restaurant with full bar) would be some other recommendations in downtown.

>good soccer bar

Not really anything that great around here unfortunately. I'm a huge footy fan, and will go to either Mulligans in Hoboken, or Legends/Football Factory in the NYC for any big games. Both easily accessible by train.

Mampou is a good Spanish tapas place. Not so sure on the soccer end. Back in the day used to be a great soccer neighborhood but honestly I’d like recommendations myself on that these days.

Other cool places to check out: Sabor Unido, No Pao, Casa d’Paco, Bellos, The Deep Inn, Burkes tavern, Blueprint cafe, McGoverns…

I recommend Portucale the restaurant on Elm Street and Suissa bakery and Cafe on Pacific.

Newark museum of art and Newark local beer are both downtown and worth a visit if you’re into either of those things. Also check out branch brook park and the cathedral basilica of the sacred heart nearby.

I’m sure you could get an eighth of brick weed for $20 if you know the right dude

Still cheaper than craft beer.

Oh yeah, I'd rather just deal with the expensive pricing to know exactly what I'm getting too.

It will go down in time. I have family in MA and so frequent dispensaries there too, and when they first opened the pricing was similar to what NJ is now, but over a few years the prices dropped dramatically and you can now grab 1/2 (4 1/8s) for 60-80 bucks

Jeeze I was being serious! Sorry if it came off that way. Your posts always make me smile that someone is out there doing good.

Considering 1/8 was like 50 bucks 20 years ago and god knows what was in it only 60 bucks for good regulated shit in 2023 sounds like a steal

Of course.

I have. And yes. Perp was arrested after a couple of break ins. He’s been released and is up to his old tricks.

If you makes rounds. Think of us up by the park. Thanks Midnight!

Have you contacted the police about it, or has there been a pattern? I can't exactly go up there on a moments notice unless I have enough to go off and a possible creditable source.

Dm me with any info ya might have, and I'll see what I can do.

Lol I know for real but I appreciate you like you are! Stay safe!

Not...really-

We love you midnight! Thank you!

Thank you Midnight!

He is Batman!
