The Best Restaurants in Newark, New Jersey | Eater NY

"The historic Ironbound section is not just one of Newark’s best features, but one of the biggest dining draws in New Jersey. Angel Leston is arguably the face of that scene today. His Casa d’Paco, specializing in Spanish tapas with an emphasis on his family’s native Galicia, is the ideal for a night out. It’s fun, comfortable, and lively, while offering great food and drink. Think: some of the best pulpo gallego (octopus sprinkled with olive oil and pimenton), washed down with a house Albariño. His newest offering, the Newark Standard, just debuted in February and promises more of the same vibe." - Hank Zona
