In this vlog I explore Ironbound in Newark, New Jersey. Ironbound is a neighborhood that is diverse with mostly Brazilians, Portuguese, and Ecuadorians. It is a working class neighborhood. You will find lots of restaurants, bars, stores. It has some of the best Portuguese BBQ in the region. Also Ironbound is served by Newark Penn Station, and easy commute to NYC. Lots of people who lives in this neighborhood commute to work in NYC. Hope you enjoy this video, stay tune for more.

I studied at Rutgers Newark in the 90' s, the ironbound was my refuge away from the sad campus. I could enjoy pastries, find decent bottles of wine and meet friendly people.

Wow !😮 I'm 74 and grew up on Main St. By George St. Went to St. Benedict's grammar school! What are the odds ??😂😂

@hardtruth4420 Год назад

I grew up "Down Neck", a.k.a the Ironbound section and very happy to see that Andros Diner and Kalibat's pharmacy are still there. I've walked Ferry Street countless times and this video brought back great memories. Thank you, Manny.

Your welcome

Andro's diner was called the " Spotless Diner" back in the 60's and before. "George" worked as a cook then bought the place. 2AM stop off after the bars closed!😂😂 I'm 74 and across from the diner was the Rivoli Theatre, closed in the early 60's. Those were good times !😅😊😂❤ I'm 74 and I was at the Ironbound Theatre on Ferry St. with my father watching a Polish movie . Had to be 1957 !? So much history! Home if Ballantine Beer!!❤😂

I grew up in Irvington and they always called it “Down Neck”. We were Italian and bought groceries there!

-Man it's nice seeing the old neighborhood. When we were small in 1965 we moved down there & stayed until I went in the Marines in 1980. Went to East Side H.S. 1975-79 across the street from Independence Park you were in. Some buildings are still there others are gone now. Lots of memories around there. East Side was a mix of Portuguese, Blacks, Puerto Ricans & Italians, & others. Good times & bad, but still good memories. Now I'm a 63yr. grandfather. Used to be more people out. Some moved away, died, etc. Since people got smart phones & computers there's less people out now. Nice.

Ironbound has always been my favorite Newark community. Welcoming people, AMAZING food. I really hope they can fight off these high-rises that seem to suck the culture out of any neighborhood they spring up in. I think they make sense for areas that are worn down and in need of investment, but this is not that. Every time I'm around there it's clean and people take care of their property.

@tranquil2706 2 года назад

Great to hear your affection for your neighborhood. The neighborhood is the place you step into when you leave home, so it is a comfort to live in a place where you appreciate the local streets and stores. Thanks for the tour!

@MannyExploresVlog 2 года назад

Thanks for watching, indeed a neighborhood is a first impression when your going to live in the area and in order to love my home, I need to love the neighborhood

@johnnocera3034 2 года назад

Great video. I grew up in Elizabeth, but left NJ in 1979. Heard a lot about Ironbound but sadly, never went there for a visit. Newark gets a bad name but this video sheds a good light on Newark. Great work, keep making these kinds of videos.

@MannyExploresVlog 2 года назад

Thats great, Elizabeth is really close to Ironbound, hopefully someday you can visit NJ again and check out the Ironbound.

I grew up in the Ironbound on Darcy St. 1960s-1970s. My family moved to the deep south of Texas on the border of Mexico.. You have no idea the culture shock Ive been through. I sure do miss "The Brick" Before all is said and done in my life. Im gonna Dj a set in Newark. As a Dj Ive made a name for myself as a Dj in Texas. Texas is a really big place. Currently holding a residency @ Sugars San Antonio Tx.

@eswillie 2 года назад

Props, Manny. I used ta spend time down there a minute ago, doing deliveries to various businesses. The food is great, and has been for a good long while. I already see the changes from just a decade ago, but that's the way it goes. Still has the culture and the vibe, though. Let's hope that holds on as we move along.

Manny, I'm from California, and I have been there several times. I love Iron bound because it's a great community with lots of nice people. You know which restaurant is bomb is Forons of Spain. Love that joint, good cigars, awesome food, and some of the best sangria. My girl is from Portugal and lives near Fall River in MA. I love Jersey and I'm from the west coast, but you guys know how to put it down!

@MannyExploresVlog 3 месяца назад

Awesome, I've been to Fall river once, Ironbound is a great neighborhood with good food, lived there for a couple of years.

Also brazilian stuff, guess were friends of the brazilians in the states cuz all emigrants but we really cant stand each others here in Portugal 🤣🤣🤣 man u make me wanna go there to live, states is like a kids dream and there its like being in Little Portugal lile u said.

@ladyleo944 Год назад

I use to visit someone in Newark, That area looks nice tho,But far as them building tall buildings everywhere ,That's the case in much of Jersy, Then they raise the rent ,it feels like there trying to force us out at this point.....

@screendeviant Год назад

Great video Manny, would you say you could live in Ironbound car free with little difficulty?

@MannyExploresVlog Год назад

Yes its easy to live car free in Ironbound since parking is really bad and everything is convenient and within walking distance.

@paleghost Год назад

I moved away from Newark/Irvington area in the late 60s. The city was in really bad shape then. Though I never went there I always heard Ironbound was an Oasis in the middle of a desert. Back then it was vast majority Portuguese. I have often wondered why Newark hasn't had more positive development. It's greatest advantage would be its convenient location to NYC.

@Dutty_McGilicutty Год назад

I currently come from Baltimore to deliver lumber to a spot on Emmit and “A”. My truck is big so I can only enter from 21 @Murray. So all I’ve seen is that industrialized area. I had no idea there was more “Down Neck.” Also, I’m Cape Verdean. So the Portuguese/Brazilian people made me feel welcome. Até depois!!

@MannyExploresVlog Год назад

It's a really nice neighborhood, if you have a chance, definitely check out more of the "Down Neck" area

@josephramone5805 Год назад

The Ironbound was Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Irish and Spanish in the 1970s and 80s. Brasilians and South Americans were few back then. Now, Brasilians are a significant majority. (You didn't show East Side High School, even though it was right next to the park and in the background of your video)

@bundevsawhney7578 Год назад

Idk if they're the all out majority these days in my experience. Between folks from Portugal and various other Latin American countries (particularly Ecuador and DR), there's a lot of other populations mixed in

@Fordie47 Год назад

Great tour Manny! I love the charming Ironbound community and upscale downtown Newark. Why can't the rest of Newark be as hip and interesting? Black poverty? Ghetto mentality? Hopelessness, helplessness and despair?

It’s not Portuguese anymore, they left a long time ago. The neighborhood is up for grabs now, gentrification is it’s only saving grace and the Newark mayor Ras does not like that.

@bundevsawhney7578 Год назад

Have you been there any time recently? None of what you said is true. Still pretty Portuguese, and I feel much safer in Ironbound than "gentrified" neighborhoods bc people actually look out for each other

@dragon2195 Год назад

Worst place to live in its over run with people who want to be seen and heard. Loud cars and loud motorcycles all day and night it's like living on 42nd street in nyc. If you want to sleep don't move there. There's no rest in ironbound.
