I live down the street from this. It came up incredibly fast. I wish the city would sell their municipal land in the same area and put a few more of these guys up

Good

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.

Yeah no one really bothers you if you say “sorry I don’t have anything to give you”. There was one guy who asked me 3 times in 3 days on the same block lol. I was like “you should probably know by now I don’t have change”

Be the change you wanna see in the world

The catch is that nothing is open after 8pm

I live downtown/university heights. I also work in Newark, but it’s a short walk/electric scooter ride/subway ride from Newark Penn and then 22 minutes to World Trade Center.

My rent is probably less than half what it would be for a 1bed in Tribeca. Not to mention I have my own washer/dryer, nice appliances/finishing and a gym in the basement. Wouldn’t call it luxury but definitely miles better than the walk ups in NYC.

Agree with others about Newark not being dangerous if you’re not looking for trouble. Miles safer than NYC imo. There just isn’t that much to do here after 9pm though. I end up going into the city 2-4x a week to meet friends and grab a drink.

Is this by the Whole Foods/across the street from the YMCA downtown? :)
