Food and Drink Options

The on-site Market Street Bar & Grill serves up American classics and drinks, ideal for a pre-show bite or post-show wind down. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant stays open late enough for most concert-goers. Plus, with Penn Station so close, you’re steps away from plenty of quick eats and coffee spots. Breakfast is available, so you can fuel up before heading out the next day.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s near downtown Newark’s bars and lounges, and trains to NYC nightlife are right at your doorstep. The hotel bar offers a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a drink without straying far.

Areas for Improvement
