Staying at the Holiday Inn next to the Newark, NJ airport is basically miserable. Feeling up for a fancy (read: pricey) night out? Check out a place called Tony da Caneca in what, as far as I could tell, is the Little Portugal section of Newark.The color of the photo on the left is kinda' weird (thanks, camera phone), but it's a heaping portion of beef sirloin topped with prosciutto, topped with an over-easy egg, surrounded by homemade potato chips in a delightful sauce. This was just one of the many "Portuguese-style" dishes at this mom-and-pop restaurant.
It's fairly expensive, but only one exit away from the hotel on the highway and totally worth taking half your entree back to the hotel to eat the next day. Just PLEASE don't forget the GPS when you head out because the mix of one way streets, road construction, and the spaghetti-like jumble of highways around the airport made my trip back to the airport about 40-60 minutes longer than it should've been (again, thanks GPS phone).
