Newark’s Ironbound District is renowned for its restaurants, some of the state’s best. But it is also a place for sensational shopping, including products you just won’t find at your local mall. On Saturday, October 26th, the Ironbound Business Improvement District (IBID) and partners Have You Met Newark and Raise Newark, will host the third in a series of Ironbound Experiences designed to highlight the many reasons why the Ironbound is Newark’s dining, shopping and entertainment district.
Hidden Gardens and Small Plates, Big Tastes were the themes of tours conducted this summer and fall that attracted participants from throughout Newark, but also visitors from Harrison, Kearny, West Orange, North Caldwell, Perth Amboy, Sparta and other communities in the metro area.

Grossman, the IBID’s Executive Director. “We will soon have our traditional lights and decorations in place for the holiday season, but the Ironbound District is a great place to shop, to dine, and to enjoy entertainment like traditional Flamenco performances all year round.”
