Hello!

I'm from Portugal, and in June i'll go to work in a Newspaper in Newark (NJ).

I will have to find a house, and i will live with my boyfriend. I´m looking a city and a place to rent. We don't have car. Can u help me?

Is Newark unsafe? I read so many things in this site... that i really don't know what to do...

Can u help me to choose the right city... Thanks!!!

There's a HUGE Portuguese population in newark in the Ironbound section, if you stay there you should be fine. Penn Station is nearby and of course plenty of restaurants.

Check out the Ironbound section of Newark. Many Portugese live there. It's fairly safe. You won't need a car but you will want to have one.

There is a great Portiugese restraunt there also Bob Grant on WABC used to promote it all the time for the life of me I cant recall the name. I agree they should be fine there in that section. The op cant go to far w/o a car.

There's Spanish Sangria, or Iberias or Spanish Palace and on and on...plenty of great food there <sigh> I remember during my teenage years I worked for a portuguese bakery off ferry st, loved going there during the Portuguese festival which btw is coming up next month.

I'd start with craigslist: north jersey classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events Then search for "Ironbound" under the apts/housing for rent button. Good luck and best wishes.
