Like the title says, I’m moving out of Jersey City in a few months. What restaurants do I need to try before I leave?

I like Frankie, not to say they have what you couldn't get in any other place but I never had a bad meal there and I feel it's tough to find a consistently good place in the area.

Forget the headliners. Most big metros have equivalents to our "nice" places, and almost everywhere has some kind of fine dining. But very few regions have anything like White Mana or Laico's, let alone entire neighborhoods to trawl like India Square or the Ironbound or Flushing.

Laicos. Don’t miss the spiedini!

15 Fox Place - something you truly aren’t going to find anywhere else. Unless your mom/grandmother cooks a bottomless, 15 course Italian meal for you and a dozen strangers.

The Hamilton Inn (outdoor camp seating).

Agreed. Eat your way down Ferry St.

west side shawarma at the gas station on the corner of communipaw and west side ave, cash only and pick up only. chicken or lamb are my faves, and I always get extra white sauce

Smakmak, order the family meal with the grilled Branzino and a side of fried calamari, it's absolutely delicious.

Wurstbar - for insane sausage rolls, fries and just everything (great beer, too) White Star - for one of the best burgers in the world (great happy hour, too) Amelia’s - for $5 brunch mimosas and the best breakfast tots Satis Bistro - for awesome wine and dinner Rumba Cubana - extremely underrated spot for any meal

Itto Sushi - 10/10 byob and the sushi never disappoints

There’s literally nothing special about Hamilton inn. It’s success is based on a historic lack of competition in that area.

Ok. Not Jersey City but try Fornos of Spain on Ferry St. in Newark.

There is nothing special about many of the places commented on this post. The outdoor camp section is a unique and rare dining area/set-up and the food is good.

Sam am vs Cafe Alyce tho?

Ondo is truly amazing, just gotta mentally prepare the mind beforehand for the bill you will receive 😄
pixel_of_moral_decay t1_j4io0ce wrote
That’s a good take. Go for the unique stuff.
Same thing when traveling. I don’t want stuff I can find at home, even if it’s good for the most part. I want what I can’t get at home.

What's the appeal of Lokal for the OP? Happy hour brew and the unmatched NYC view?
Jahooodie t1_j4l8h4w wrote
Itto's good; my opinion is it's a perfectly serviceable join if it's your local neighborhood, but wouldn't put it on a farewell to JC tour. And it's subjective, but I find their seating area off, like something about the layout is just uncomfortable feeling and needs to be redesigned.

You can't replicate that actual mobbed up patina
Adventurous_Drop_249 t1_j4l9km7 wrote
Well the view is a plus but their food is actually really good! Can’t beat the 1$ oysters for happy hour and the papas bravas, Brussels sprouts, and tuna tartare are always spot on.
