1180's 'Hood

The neighborhood around the area of 1180 Raymond is probably the best in downtown Newark. There are several fine restaurants like the Theater Square Grill, Maize, Market Street Bar and Grill, The Savoy (closed temporarily), 27 Mix, Food for Life, The Key Club and more. Fast food, pizza, subs, wings and other "fast food" and delivery options also exist.

At this time there are only a few bar and club options mostly involving of the aforementioned restaurants but more are expected as the downtown area becomes more lively especially with the increased resident population centered at 1180. Activities downtown include the new and very impressive New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) and the about-to-open Prudential Center which will be home to the New Jersey Devils. Both are located just minutes on foot from 1180.
