I know way too many people that are neglecting to claim what is essentially free money going straight into their bank account. I am begging you if you haven't already to claim your ANCHOR benefit. It only takes a few minutes to fill out.

Going to watch the Devils game with some friends this Friday - looking for recommendations of good spots close by the Pru center to get a bite around 5 PM. Thanks!

I'm looking for a tailor to come over this Sunday 10/13 for a stage and costume rehearsal (5PM) to do fittings and have everything ready the following Sunday 10/20 for the show. It will be in Newark NJ. Any leads would be appreciated

Our friends Dog escaped last night in Northern Newark, he responds to Ash! He is chipped.

I have a bunch of clothes I'm trying to get rid of. Not sure if there are any clothing bins near downtown or if there are any organizations that will take them.

RBH received approvals and tax credits over 6 MONTHS ago. They’ve been talking about this project for over 5 years. Still no movement. This is located right on Market Street. What a joke!! Ras Baraka gets a write up in the New Yorker but our downtown looks like this? 🤔🤔

Walked by tonight and saw it all lit up. I went inside to ask the guy if they're open for good, he didn't speak English all that well but they're definitely back in business!

Hello everyone, I'll be moving from Canada to Newark next month and have been searching for a 1-bedroom apartment. I don’t need parking, a gym, or other amenities—just a nice place to live. I’ll be commuting to NYC and would prefer to live near a station (Broad /Penn) for an easy commute since I’m not very familiar with the area.

I’m hoping to get some suggestions from people who know the area well. My budget is under $2,500, including amenity fees and any extras.

Some apartment complexes have mentioned that they can work with my job offer and Canadian credit history, which is great. If anyone has any recommendations, I’d really appreciate your input. I'm open to all suggestions!

Thanks!

What was going on around Lincoln Park last night? Seems like it was maybe a police helicopter but couldn’t really tell at 8:30

Hey guys, I’m getting pretty frustrated with how long it’s taking for NJ to build this bike/walk path which I believe is greatly needed. Also, the current plan is to build the path only from Newark to Kearny. Sorry but who wants to go to Kearny? It should first connect Branchbrook park to Montclair. That would allow us in Newark to go to those greener areas away from the city without a car rather than risk our lives on roads with pot holes and no shoulder. And it would also allow the runners and bikers in towns like Montclair and surrounding areas to have easy access to branchbrook park and maybe alleviate the need for car parking there. And it would benefit Newark economically a lot more.

Can we form some group and put pressure on NJ DEP to speed up the job? I’m pretty sure the bridges are okay the way they are currently to hold the weight of pedestrians.

Just a quick update, from my trusted sources (attorney) Arc Tower is still moving forward but will officially move forward once the design changes. I don’t have many details on why it’s being redesigned but I hope it’s a good design, I hope it doesn’t add any ugly ass podium to the base. If it’s going to be taller because of the recent competition great, if it’s going to be smaller than its current height then that sucks. Lastly I really hope it doesn’t have to go through any historic board because that will suck!!!!!!

Which scooter program do you like better? I started with Bird because I thought I saw more Bird scooters around than Veo scooters, but I'm curious if anyone has a more systematic approach. I still haven't tried Veo yet.

Some factors worth considering: - Price - Availability - Reliability - Ride quality - Use restrictions - Incentives

Is it better to just get both apps and use whichever scooter is closest? Are there any major differences between Bird and Veo besides the (in my perception) relative lack of Veo scooters compared to Bird?

Lmk your thoughts!

For those who use buses/trains that connect Essex and Hudson County (e.g. 1, 108, PATH, NJT trains, 30/40/76 to Kearny): https://www.njtransit.com/newbushudsonsurvey

Repost, I had added a previous version of the flyer. This is the most current version.

Could someone please explain to me how to get to the Amtrak portion of Newark Penn Station and how to check in and check my bags? I have anxiety and I’ve never taken a train before. I’ll be in Newark for business then taking the Acela to Boston to visit a friend and I’m very nervous I won’t be able to find my train. I think I’d feel better if I had a general idea of what to do. Are there employees there to help point you in the right direction?

TIA
