My friend stayed at that Watt Hotel a couple times, which is what led me to exploring Rahway. I was pleasantly surprised. A nice hotel (with a nice bar), many other bars/restaurants, a brewery, an arts center, old buildings mixed with the new, the train station, then a lovely residential area. A damn thriving and walkable downtown! A lot of people just know those towns between Newark and Woodbridge from the Turnpike, which doesn't leave the best impression, but they've got a lot to offer.
