Some of our favorite places to be and things to see!

Dining

Breakfast

<a href="https://g.co/kgs/iy2Kqk9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buddy's JC </a>- Our favorite brunch spot right around the corner from our apartment! Don't miss the cereal pancakes. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/FxLeCaJ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">City Diner</a> - Literally across the street from our apartment, I swear we aren't just recommending everything within short walking distance of the apartment, this place has truly classic Jersey eats. Don't miss out on the Arnold Palmers! <a href="https://g.co/kgs/FCy8Fq8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Maman </a>- Great coffee shop/bakery right on the waterfront! Great views and great coffee. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/4W73d7k" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Maggie's Farm Espresso</a> - Solid option, close to the hotel.

Lunch

<a href="https://g.co/kgs/jsr3d7J" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prato Bakery</a> - An absolute gem within short walking distance of The Westin. The focaccia sandwiches are always best warmed up - highly recommend Ketan's favorite Mortadella and Pistachio Spread sandwich. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/qStxj9f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dosa Spot</a> - Located on the second floor of Newport Centre Mall, it was first known for its iconic food truck and has since made a cozy brick and mortar storefront just a short walk away from the Westin. Ashley's favorite is the Masala Dosa - don't forget to ask for Ghee Roast! <a href="https://g.co/kgs/mkd1UVW" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tacqueria Downtown</a> - Our favorite hole in the wall taco joint! Try the cactus tacos and guac! Popeyes Newport Centre - The finest cuisine that America has to offer. Only recommended to those with a cultured palette who can handle the flavor explosions of Louisiana dining.

Dinner

<a href="https://g.co/kgs/RZJSb97" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Razza</a> - Voted "The Best Pizza in New York". No, really it was! We recommend a reservation for this one, it's always packed. If you can't get in here, <a href="https://g.co/kgs/QdRXPZs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Porta </a>is a great alternative nearby with generally quick seating. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/mt6c89m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DomoDomo</a> - Sister restaurant to its New York City Michelin Bib Gourmand Winner - great Japanese Cuisine. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/gpeKUV9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cellar 335</a> - Our favorite Jersey City restaurant. Unique Asian Fusion with mind blowing drinks (virgin and otherwise). Also, it's right below our Sangeet venue! <a href="https://g.co/kgs/aLjtiWm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Corto</a> - Requires an Uber from the hotel, but has the best rigatoni that New Jersey has to offer. A regular indulgence for the future Mr. and Mrs. Jethwa! <a href="https://g.co/kgs/CEsmJ6Y" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fire and Oak</a> - Great place with a wide array of options attached to the Westin. Popeyes Newport Centre - GREAT FOR LUNCH OR DINNER! A masterful option that transcends flavor and enters into the realm of holy food. Golden flaky crusts abound.

Drinks

<a href="https://g.co/kgs/BMmeGLk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Rooftop at Exchange Place</a> - Excellent views of NYC. Stop by for a quick drink after dinner. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/ALYavij" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dullboy</a> - Delicious cocktails and cool vibes. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/HAnN1W7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Junto Attic</a> - Amazing vibes for a small group. Masterful cocktail options. <a href="https://g.co/kgs/BTPSmHa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Departed Soles Brewing Company </a>- Funky beers and funky vibe, located right next to Prato Bakery makes it an excellent post-lunch visit.

Can also be accessed via the <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/WG6V1MFc3iRcMY9o7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Paulus Hook Ferry</a>. Located in downtown New York City, it houses beautiful shops and architectural design.
