EBT is (unprepared) food only, she probably was desperate, not really a scam just breaking the rulesish

Brick City

Street Fight

There are DJs at Cool Vines every Wednesday.

I grew up there so a lot of places have changed. I would say explore the magical stuff … fat sammiches, Portuguese food, a real pizza with shaved Italian sausage, Italian hot dogs, egg foo young, soul food, diner food, a halal spot, breffus sammiches, White Castle Jersey style, bodega candy, a Caribbean spot, fried fish etc. - it’s just good food all over the city and outer lying places like East Orange and Irvington. There’s a lot of migration since I was there - perhaps try Haitian!

What’s that?

See, my family was always like no don’t go, you will be robbed raped have your car stolen, you’re white and will stand out. Like it’s this totally scary out of control place. I don’t believe that is true.

I want to walk down the street and see where my parents met, think it was 13th Street and Orange Avenue.

I want to walk by Central High School where my dad went.

And other stuff.

What places are good?

The food!

You can't buy certain things with ebt it's mainly for food.

That's nice to hear about Newark, but your boss sounds like an idiot.

For a city of around 300K, you got good mass transit, from buses to regional rail to heavy rail to "light rail". NJPAC the Newark Museum and even the library are class. If you're a fan of rodizio Ferry Street has no rival. The Prudential Center, despite being poorly managed, still gets good reviews.

Jersey Club

Life of crime follows addicts and recovering addicts over a long period 20-30 years

This is a fact.

The New Jersey Devils are getting good!

Life of Crime, there are 3 of them in the series

Lmao the sopranos

He’s referring to the movie ‘Saints of Newark’ 🙄

Yeah I can’t find any on HBO like OP said

Lots of drugs if your an addict. Lol

I’m based in Newark now after living in Essex county my entire childhood life hearing the horror stories. I love this city. Sure criminals are here and bad things do happen, but the positives are much louder to me. Diverse beyond definition and kind, I’ve had strangers help me time and time again. Also I see more effort here than most other cities to deter gentrifications strangulation of long time residents, I do hope Newark does better to keep long timers and have up-kept safe affordable housing. Homeless population exists and I sadly do not see enough work to help individuals climb out of that. Food. Everywhere, any kind you want. I’m partial towards ironbound, real sucker for the Portuguese food. Qxt’s is my favorite bar on the planet earth, they always make me feel like family. Historical buildings lurk everywhere and I see more effort into restoration, fingers crossed restoration becomes more important. I’m due for a trip to the Newark Museum, heard it’s intriguing. Not sure how I feel about the scooters but there are scooters available now for faster non car movement, I see bike lanes popping up more but usually used for double park. My biggest issue is lack of public garbage cans and therefore, understandably, a lot of street garbage. Have a great visit!

What can i say i love my city

It has great urban density and the potential to be a walkable city! Also some of the best access to public transit in the United States. Probably the best for a city of around 300k people.

1. I really like the parks in Newark, particularly Branch Brook park in the spring.
2. Overall the mass transit access is pretty good, could be better but better than many places.
3. Food around here is pretty good, just wish places in downtown were open later and on the weekends.
4. Convenient access to both an international airport and a major train station with service to a nice variety of locations.
