Newark is fine. Most crash pads are in N Elizabeth . I can walk around at night and feel comfortable , would I want the wife doing so , no.

Kew gardens is by a nicer area , (spent 5 years there ) I mean one is queens and one is Jersey both turds , but one of the turds is polished a little bit. Jersey is a bit more like South Ozone if your familiar . Good pads are around tho.
