try dickie dees! really great pizza but id say more well known for their italian hot dogs. it was featured on an episode of ‘food paradise’ on food network i think. right across the street is bloomfield ave bbq which does some killer portuguese ribs and chicken. and then also like 100ft from dickie dee’s is calandra’s bakery, which im sure you’ve heard of but is quite literally the best bakery in all of NJ and their original location, their fresh baked bread is insane and so are the rest of their pastries. 3 of some of newark’s best eateries and they’re all off bloomfield ave, within feet of each other, and near the branch brook/stephen adubato park. id say its a safe area too, especially since it’s usually pretty busy, definitely check it out!

riverside amc is a little more than 30mins away, but suuuuper nice theater. cushy reclining chairs and they do that thing where they deliver food to your seat. its in a small mall full of rich people stores (tiffany, jimmy choo, etc) so its usually very very quiet and chill
