Newark is no longer a place where you can fly into its international airport and get a 15-min cab ride to the most happening city in the world, New York City. Now, Newark is a rich destination which is the home of America’s first public library; the diverse, international art at the 110-year old Newark Museum and the apparently non-stop construction of luxury office and residential spaces that are taking place in the historic Ironbound neighborhood.
Apart from that, Newark is home to some of the best culinary destinations in the world. Here are 5 great culinary destinations to check out during your next visit to Newark.
