The Best Restaurants in Newark, New Jersey | Eater NY

"Sitting in Portugalia, where there’s a lively din of Portuguese and a football game on the TV, it’s easy to forget you’re in the United States. In both the dining room and bar, everyone seems like they either just got off work or are taking a break, and no one is in a hurry to leave. From the menu, listed in Portuguese and English, order the frango de churrasco for $10: half a barbecued chicken served with french fries and pickled vegetables, hot sauce optional. A bottle of Super Bock beer from Portugal washes it down. This inexpensive and honest fare shows how well Newark feeds its own." - Hank Zona
