Reply to comment by ReadProfessional5944 in If Newark had a downtown, we’d be goated by poete_idris

Ferry Street literally fits that definition, especially closer to the train station.

Right but it’s not in the downtown district and caters more to Latin Americans

Eh yes and no. The music that is usually played in those establishments are extremely wide and varied.

Ferry street doesn't have enough. It does have some really nice ones, but its still dead sometimes.

Its dead sometimes, but not always... also, its probably more of a product of just the distance from the more core parts of the "city" (using that term as a catch all for the towns and boroughs that have a path or subway line). I go out to Bushwick sometimes for a few drinks and it can get pretty dead as well.

Def makes sense. Good point. And sometimes Ferry, even down to Wilson is buzzing

Yeah, I do think we get caught up with the arbitrary borders between the states (anywhere else in the world and Newark/NYC would be one city) so we def come down on the night life in Newark a bit hard (which we should, NYC and the other cities in Jersey should compliment our night life, not the other way around), but once you start to realize that its one big city and many outer borough neighborhoods have very similar nightlife to Newark, especially when they are similarly situation from Manhattan as Newark, its a bit easier to swallow the Newark nightlife pill as you can easily plug in that hole by going closer to Manhattan or out to Williamsburg/Astoria.
