Haven’t read the article yet, but if you do find yourself in Newark for the evening .... some of the finest Portuguese food anywhere (at least outside Portugal) is in the Ironbound section of Newark. Some great rodizio too - try Fernandes Steakhouse for an amazing meal.
If you want a delicious summertime treat, take an Uber to
DiCosmo’s Italian Ice Elizabeth. On a hot summer day, there’s no better snack. Owned and run by the same family for over 100 years now. The very definition of making lemonade (or, lemon ice) from lemons.
Tasty stuff. Seriously. Plenty of goodness to be found.
