Flame-grilled chicken on Halsey Street, done with peri-peri sauces made on site, drawing on Portuguese, Mozambican, South African and Southeast Asian cooking. You order a quarter or a half at the counter with rice and a sauce and sit down with a tray. The meat is halal and there is a full set of vegan plates alongside it.

McGovern's Tavern

0.3 mi · 7 min walk - Downtown Newark

Frank McGovern opened this on New Street in 1936 and it has not moved or changed its name since. It is a narrow old bar with a kitchen, a long wooden counter and a sign reading in God we trust, all others pay. On a night when downtown Newark empties out after an event, this is the place that is still serving.
