Before

0.4 mi · 8 min walk - Downtown Newark

Adenah Bayoh and Zadie B. Smith opened the first Cornbread in Maplewood in 2017 and brought it to the ground floor of 915 Broad Street in February 2021. You order fried chicken, collards, mac and cheese and a square of cornbread at the counter and carry the tray. Bayoh co-developed the building it sits in, which is unusual for a restaurant on this street.

After

short ride recommended · 3 min - Downtown Newark

A tapas and wine bar at the downtown end of Ferry Street, with a bar you can stand at and a garden out the back. Plates are small and Spanish and the wine list is long. Of the Ironbound places this is the first one you reach walking east from the arena.
