Downtown Newark Food Tour-POWERED by GNCVB
Saturday, September 14
The "Nom Nom Newark" food tour is a journey through the culinary diversity of Downtown Newark, We will be making four stops at eateries with a range of offerings (jewish-style deli, jamaican food, and more!) with opportunities to speak with owners and chefs about the style, ingredients of the food as well as the restaurant itself. All the stops are walking distance from each other in Newark's historic downtown. Your experienced tour guide will also share some history and architecture information about America's third oldest city (that's Newark!) as we walk between locations. Your ticket will cover food that has been pre-arranged for tour participants.
