This is exactly what we need! The population boom from people moving out from the big cities to smaller ones is just a glimpse of what climate change will do to places like North Jersey. You think the rent is high now, just give it a couple of decades when we’re dealing with climate refugees AND the need to upgrade our infrastructure to meet the challenges from local effects of climate change.

Place is classy and dishes are Italian! Just a heads up. And the owners are the ones from Sihana.

nice good to know it was delicious.

I have reservations at end of week, hope to experience the same.

Even after NJ became a free state a lot of people supported slavery. Newark produced a lot of goods that benefited from it. They made leather goods like saddles that the south bought, and I think they processed fabric made from cotton, so they still benefited from the labor. I forget exactly the details, but I remember reading something about protests to the war when they began recruitment.

And uncaught almost three years after he freed himself. An "arch fellow" indeed. Hope he lived out his years in peace and freedom.

Those things that look like Fs are actually Ss if hard to read!

Ate there last night and it was delicious. Drinks a little pricey but well worth it. You want a nice stiff strong drink? Get the Newark. You still want strong but refreshing drink, try the Mad Dog.

Happen to see the councilman Silva there.. wanted to approach him about the poor pick up by the city garbage men.. but I restrained myself. Argh.

Listen. I want folk to come visit for more than a Devils game at the Prudential and then they promptly leave. However to do that, places need to open and have crap in stock. If they keep having Newark ass hours, nobody is going to want to hang out there.

Coffee shops not open until 9 am (!). Except Dunkin’ is open, but they’re not a local shop. If I’m headed to work, I’ll be late if I get to your shop at 9 am on my way in. Why are you like this?

Bars that don’t open till 6 pm, and have a shitty sign with a dress code that amounts to “don’t be black,” and blasting music at face melting volume at 6 ok. Nobody is getting turnt at 6 pm. Be like normal people and have music at a low-ish volume when the sun is out, and gradually turn it up as the place fills up so people want to dance.

Two examples of several. If we don’t offer something else to do next to the unique and cool stuff we have to offer, nobody is going to hang out for very long once they’re done. JC is a bit of a soulless husk trying to live up to its bigger cousin NYC, but they figured out how to get people to hang out there: actually be open, and cater to everyone and not just office building workers.

They been planting flags for years the make JC yours campaign was all over Newark Penn at one point but now it's the City of Plainfield

ShopRite surely has plenty of options in their ethnic aisle for you to prepare a delicious home-cooked Icelandic meal for your friend in the heart of Brick City.

What’s their IG?

Sure, you can think that.

JC, Hoboken, E.NY and the others on the Hudson is dependent on NY where Newark is its own dependent city with it's own style not transplanted NY'ers turning the Hudson into there version of Manhattan/Brooklyn.

I've been saying they should take the flag off the IDT building and put it somewhere else and put a big neon sign saying "Welcome to Newark" and smaller sign under it saying "Brick City".

JC may be a bit 'nicer' but newark is the better city in my opinion. But i'm probably biased!!

sorry works now using a diff browser

Website works fine on my end. You can also see updates on their IG.

website not working, and any googling of fiver corners risorante reverts to 5corners in JC.

Everyone’s pissed Newark isn’t advertising itself but what is there to advertise? What is here that isn’t in any other city in Jersey/NY? They should really push the food diversity but again, you can get that elsewhere in NJ. Audible has tried to do it with Broad St Station but until Newark actually gets attractions it’s a useless attempt IMO.

I’ll just take it as a rant because yes it would be nice to see NEWARK read all over but I will say I think NEWARK doesn’t need any advertisements no glitter no glow no signs saying look at me because everyone knows NEWARK is the center of jersey’s universe!!!! We have everything and everything go through us!! Amazon made its way Bunch of movie production studios are contracting and planting their seed in our soil Netflix is on its way here …. I mean Newark is Newark the Brick City!!!!

In theory the greater newark convention and visitors Bureau should be filling this need. Attracting visitors and shoppers and entertainment seekers in the region and other states.

They have a several million dollar a year annual recurring budget. Here is their website.

It doesn't need an equal to that because you can just take the PATH over to Newark for one day. Or the PATH to NYC.

Downtown JC is much more vibrant than the Ironbound, especially nowadays, and I grew up in the Ironbound. Ironbound has better food, especially for the price, but that's about it.

JC has no equal to NJPAC, Prudential Center, our art Museum, Essex County Parks & the Ironbound.

Grove Street in JC is nice , but it’s mostly less cool versions of stuff that’s in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Always thought NDD and the major developers should advertise on the PATH. Something like “If you lived here, you’d have a seat on this train.” Lol
