And uncaught almost three years after he freed himself. An "arch fellow" indeed. Hope he lived out his years in peace and freedom.

Bjork's Burger Palace, where all the servers wear swan dresses.
Otherwise, I bet Whole Foods sells skyr.

Not surprised that a couple of Newark's Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian options would be recognized. But big congrats to Urban Vegan! It's an excellent place basically right across from City Hall. Great to see it get this recognition.

Slowly piecing some of this together. The building at 0:57 is now 611 McCarter Highway. That's as far as I've gotten. (I should stop this and get to work, in fact!)
Need to spend much more time with this wonderful video. Thanks for posting!
Edit: Same building again at 2:34. Green area at 3:45 is now Raymond A. Brown Park. With the clear views of downtown, the location and direction is more obvious at this point.
