The current conditions also come with a price for local residents/ entrepreneurs who work hard and are forced to leave their neighborhoods behind because of lack of opportunities, safety. Yes, there should be help for local business which is what provides balance other than that gentrification will help modernize Newark.

Hopefully it happens soon, activist are only looking for fame because there is absolutely no good for locals by keeping the status quo, those who can afford immediately send their kids to private schools outside the city or move out to provide their heirs better opportunities. Gentrification comes with a price but it offers opportunities and better local schools.

Newark itself has some of the best restaurants in the area for Spanish (*Mompou or ViVo tapas) Portuguese (Sol Mar, Iberia, *Adega Grill)or Brazilian ( *Delicias de Mina’s Steak House, Brazilia Grill). I placed an asterisk on my favorite spots, those are located in the Ironbound section of Newark a safe neighborhood know for its restaurant scene.

In Newark there are a few failed business that hold the license but lack the creativity to succeed. The government shouldn’t be protecting a few people who have already benefit for years of this liquor license policies. Mom and Pop’s places are failing anyway and it is investors who actually own the license and have the money to back up new restaurants.
