Got married in the National Bank Building back in 2009. Newark holds a special place in my heart going back over 30 years.
Plenty cars stolen or broken into, two apartment robberies, did my undergrad and some grad studies at NJIT, roamed the hallways of Essex County Community College as a snot nosed kid while my mother worked there, late nights and street fights.
Even before the Prudential Center was built up, that whole area was a mini mall with all kinds of shops. My mother used to pickup some delicious peanut brittle from one of the stores there. Alas, urban development/gentrification...
I wasn't a bad kid by any measure, but I knew what was up and who to run with and who to stay clear of.
Newark is indeed a beautiful city that would have swallowed you whole if your weren't careful "back in thr day"

I recommend the AMC in Ridgefield Park. Real chill & isolated. Recliner seats

I saw Smile there tonight. Power outage delay for 15 minutes and people talking the entire time. I’ll never go back.

Thanks. Are those houses for rent or sale?

riverside amc is a little more than 30mins away, but suuuuper nice theater. cushy reclining chairs and they do that thing where they deliver food to your seat. its in a small mall full of rich people stores (tiffany, jimmy choo, etc) so its usually very very quiet and chill

I do agree with people mentioning the Ironbound, but you don't have to live in one of the little apartments near Penn! The amount of construction near those buildings has been attracting rats like crazy recently (among other problems). However, there are several streets in the neighborhood that have 2-3 family homes that are much more livable/practical. A few are: Chestnut Street, St. Francis Street, Clifford Street. These are all sort of on the borders of the super busy areas like Ferry or Wilson Ave, so they're pretty safe but you still get some privacy.

Clifton Commons on rt 3, Jersey Gardens.
Clifton is very close and has places to grab drinks nearby as well. I recommend Shannon Rose

If you're 21+ the dine in AMC in West Orange is the way to go.
***Only if the movie you're looking for is in the theatres with the lazy boys, instead of the standard dine in. I forget the name distinction between the theatre types

Enjoy

AMC: West Orange, Clifton, Jersey Gardens, Garden State Plaza, Wayne, Mountainside, Newport, and Hackensack.
Hackensack and West Orange have a liquor license so you by booze at the bar before you go in.

All I know is I do not recommend Essex 9.

Kerasotes in Medowlands are the best. Cheap tickets, recliner, cheaper food.
Highly recommend

Cityplex is pretty chill, if not cityplex try AMC in west orange NJ. I am not sure about the one in jersey gardens. I know there’s a movie theater in fort lee near the modern towers, it’s a cool place.

You’ve been to the Shaq Theater here in Newark? It’s usually pretty chill.

Guys idk about this tower, like I want to be very positive about this. They people in the meeting were complaining about the height were halo tower 3 is literally one story less than this tower even though this tower is 520 feet and not 485. If halo can do it this can too, praying the November second meeting goes well, if it doesn’t get approved maybe instead of making the tower all glass maybe they can add some art deco to it. Because the people of James street are crazy.

Yep she sure did, Ig that’s how they treat teenagers who support a project like this.

I don’t know. But it’s a nice building, in a nice area across from a park and close enough to Pru Center + NJPAC and Broad St. Train Station. <- all within walking distance

No problem. And it varies. Usually they're for rent, but a lot of owners are selling the houses these days since people are starting to buy up property in Newark
