I was based in the “sewer” for 4 years back in the day. Honestly I enjoyed it. I lived there for a year too...was a hell of a lot better then the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area...that place is awful! As long as you’re not in east orange it’s fine. I lived in the ironbound across from Newark Penn station. I’m not a city guy at all, but Newark gets an unnecessarily bad rap. Also the employee cafeteria in the basement of the ewr airport is the best! Miss that!

Was number 86 for departure outta there one day though. Pre pax bill of rights of course.
