In that case I recommend Iberia on Ferry Street. The Paella is out of this world! |

Hate to make a joke of this, but it's not wise to say Newark and kill in the same conversation. |

No. It would cut it so close that it would leave little time to do anything. normally they require you arrive at the gate check-in 90 minutes or so before the flight. Miss that window and you could have your seat given away.
The dinner at the Ironbound section is your best bet. There are some great restaurants and I can tell you that you will not leave the place hungry. |

Agreed. Skip NYC and go to the Ironbound instead.

Ironbound is a wonderful place. BTW, it is the birthplace of Frankie Valley and the original 4 Seasons. They grew up near Ferry St singing doo wop on the stoops.

Though my family is from Spain, when in Ironbound which is very very often considering my roots and friends I always go to Brasilia. Not sure if any of you have checked it out.
