Above the fray.
me and my boy used to smoke and drink with these strippers from that strip club up the street from Marlos's on Lyons Ave. the name slips my memory. they stayed in Hill Manor, never ran into any problems over there, just the occasional mouse running across the floor. LOL

my favorite spot, we were young nikkas going in that joint... no id never asked, just sipping and slapping asses all night. We was up in there every weekend. I even got to spin a couple nights in there. no cash, just free drinks for me and my boys. It wasn't nothing for me and the crew to lace up the timbs with snow on the ground and walk from hillside to world paradise. went home recently to go, and its a fuggin poppa johns pizza there.

Jersey is unique that way, there are at least 3 "communities" I can think of that have their American central(or #2) spot here.

Second largest Cuban community in America is in Union City
Largest Costa Rican community in America is in Bound Brook
I knew that North Newark has a high Brazilian,Angolan,Cape Verdean & Portuguese population, but until you pointed it out..I'd agree that it might be second only to Boston area.


Food for all three general groups is great.
You can find pretty much every group in Jersey some where

Next week, on a day that feels like it has been “coming soon” for eons, Newark officials will finally cut the ribbon for the long-awaited Mulberry Commons park in the city’s downtown.

A grand opening celebration for the new three-acre park across from the Prudential Center has been scheduled for next Tuesday, May 14. An event flyer shows that Mayor Ras Baraka, members of the Newark Municipal Council, Newark Department of Housing and Economic Development Interim Director Natasha Rogers, Newark Community Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Bernel Hall, Newark Downtown District CEO Anthony McMillan, and several corporate leaders are slated to speak at the event from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with a ribbon cutting expected to follow. Live entertainment, food vendors, and activities for families are planned between 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The site surrounding the park, which currently stretches east from Mulberry Street toward McCarter Highway, was once home to Newark’s Chinatown neighborhood and the Central Railroad of New Jersey’s (CRRNJ) Newark and New York Railroad tracks. In more recent years, the property contained private parking lots.


Mulberry Commons has been in the works for nearly 14 years and New Jersey’s largest city has had four mayors in the time since the plans surfaced for the park. The project was previously known as Triangle Park and was initially expected to be developed by the former Newark Downtown Core Redevelopment Corporation. Eventually, after over a decade of planning, differing designs, and confusion, a groundbreaking ceremony was held in October 2017.

A recent statement from the City of Newark called Mulberry Commons “a milestone in Newark’s economic development, creating a new center of gravity in the City’s growing downtown and unlocking the long-ignored development potential of Newark’s Penn Station, one of the nation’s busiest rail hubs.”


Mulberry Commons will include terraces, an interactive fountain, public art, and seating areas. The final version of the project was designed by Manhattan-based Sage and Coombe Architects and Supermass Studio. Sage and Coombe’s website and social media platforms mention that there will also be a beer garden, an event plaza, play spaces, and a slide.

The premises sit adjacent both the former Newark Warehouse Company building and the former CRRNJ bridge over the Northeast Corridor railroad tracks. The building is currently in the process of being converted into the Ironside Newark office development, which will also include retail space facing Mulberry Commons and a public atrium when it is completed in the near future. Meanwhile, the bridge is eventually expected to become part of Mulberry Commons and allow for direct access to the park from Newark Penn Station and the Ironbound neighborhood.
