Bookmark removed. Probably won't be back. Tried this place…read moreas someone must have recommended it and I saved it awhile back. We sat at the bar and the lady tenders were nice and attentive early on. The ambiance and decor is classy and traditional Iberian. Super Bock on tap is always a plus especially when ice cold like it was served. A Paella and a Monkfish dishes were ordered. And took no less than an hour to come out. Since we ordered no appetizers, it was and felt like forever. The major disappointment was no tender checking on us. Had I been asked if I wanted another Super Bock at anytime in the last half hour of waiting, I would have been able to ask that they check on my food. Not that I should remind anyone how to do their jobs. Then the minor disappointment. For all that wait, all the customers rolling in, all the nice atmosphere, the food was just good but not great. The best outcome was lots of leftovers for entrees priced on the higher side for Portuguese food.

On a whim, we were bound for Ironbound (my first time) and wound up at PortuCale…read more Dinner started very promising. We got Uma Combinacao Aperitivos Portugueses featuring small square dishes of flamed Portuguese sausage, octopus in garlic sauce, shrimp in garlic sauce, and sautéed hot potatoes. All garlicky, olive-oil drenched deliciousness. Then we got to the Paelha Marinheira, and it kind of fell apart. The rice felt...Goya-like. Sort of artificial. The seafood combo was overcooked and chewy. Kind of sandy too. The whole dish was simultaneously salty and bland, and we regretted getting it. Sadly, they were also out of our first, second and third choice desserts, so we wound up with a giant slice of Molotof to end our meal on a better note. It was fine, but I wouldn't order it again. Appreciated that the clientele around us were all speaking Portuguese, and this clearly is an old school neighborhood spot--but I think we'll keep exploring the area for dinner options.

A bacon cheeseburger, a Raging Bull, and an Ironbound tavern. It sounds like the setup to a…read moreJeopardy! clue, but it all comes together when you discover that Jake LoMatta's favorite second cousin sits proprietor over one of Jersey's best burgers in the Portuguese section of Newark. I of course joke about the famed boxers relationship but I can confirm this Newark institution packs a championship punch where it counts. For decades, Krug's Tavern has been proving that a neighborhood bar with a small well-seasoned grill is sometimes all you need. Without any unnecessary fanfare, they've been serving truly exceptional burgers to Newark locals and hungry visitors from across North Jersey, and there's no sign of slowing down. I stopped in one afternoon on the recommendation of a friend who works for the utility company and had spent more than a few lunch hours beneath Krug's dimly lit ceilings. Within a few bites, it was easy to understand why the place has earned such a devoted following. The Shrimp Scampi may sound like an unusual order off the bar menu, but don't overlook it. It's outstanding and deserves a place on the table no matter what else you're eating. Better yet, ask for the house "secret sauce"--a glorious combination of the scampi butter and Buffalo sauce that somehow works far better than it has any right to. When it comes to burgers, the quintessential Jersey Taylor Ham burger is a must, delivering that perfect salty, smoky bite only New Jersey can truly appreciate. The bacon cheeseburger is equally memorable, piled high with crispy bacon and juicy enough to make napkins less of a suggestion and more of a necessity. Pair any of it with an ice-cold draft beer, soak in the neighborhood atmosphere, and you'll quickly understand why Krug's Tavern has become a North Jersey institution. It's proof that great burgers don't need gimmicks--just a hot grill, cold beer, and decades of doing things the right way. It's bound to be a good time, an IRONbound good time (I'll see myself out)

Krug's is GREAT!…read more The burgers are huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, they're just phenomenal. The melted cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on a perfectly toasted bun? So good. And they serve complimentary pickles and hot peppers on the side, which really sets it off. You literally don't even need fries with this burger -- it's more than enough. I ordered a whole one and could only eat half. My friend and I even said we should've just shared one! We started with the garlic fried shrimp scampi. The flavor was definitely there, though the shrimp were just a tad tough. I ordered a lemon berry Arnold Palmer, which didn't really impress me -- but I wasn't there for the drinks. I came for the burger, and I was more than satisfied. The prices were fair, and you get a small discount if you pay cash. They have their own parking lot behind the building (not the supermarket one), which is a big plus because parking in that area can be rough. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I loved how everyone helped each other instead of just one assigned server handling everything. TVs all around, music playing, people laughing and enjoying is what you'll find here! It's kid friendly so bring the fam with ya! I will definitely be back. If you're a burger lover, I highly recommend this spot!

An oasis from Newark Airport!…read more I booked a Polaris Class ticket from Newark to London, and as a result was able to access the Polaris Lounge in Newark. Food: Good buffet with quality food and fresh salads Drink: Free drinks but I was in "work mode" the entire time. Opted for water, and the lounge has a nice bottle filling station too. Overall cleanliness: excellent Bathrooms: private bathrooms that are properly maintained and cleaned Showers: I didn't use the showers but the Polaris Lounge offers free showers By the way, I booked lie-flat seats on United going to London and on British Airways returning from London. United Polaris class crushes British Airways business class in comfort, ergonomics, service, and food quality in flight.
