GlocallyNewark is dedicated to the emerging environment it was created in, shedding light on already established and upcoming spaces in Newark. As the city grows, so does its number of inhabitants and visitors, each with their own opinion and inquiries of where “The Best” can be found. GlocallyNewark.com has created a platform that allows Newarkers and their visitors to give their thoughts on our city. This year, we’re thrilled to announce the first ever annual “Best of Newark” campaign that finally puts together the opinions of all Newarkers and expert critics to recognize the places that make the things we love to eat and drink! It’s now your time to nominate the places you think are the best in Newark!
Comment in the space below to have your favorite places jump on our radar. One per category and make sure to tell your friends to comment as well! The top places will then be visited and the “best” will be announced throughout 2013, starting right after the New Year in January! Best of Newark selections will begin December 1st, so get those comments rolling in today!
