re. CAP: YELP Passport to Newport Event

RER 10.7.14

On Tuesday night, my sister and I, along with over 300 other yelpers, got to know the Newport area of Jersey City a little bit better. And of course we got acquainted through our stomachs! At the Yelp Passport to Newport Event, each guest was given a passport, which granted us access to 8 different eateries in the area, 6 different cocktails inspired by Tito’s Handmade Vodka and a really great time.

Skylark on the Hudson fed hungry yelpers tiny salmon cheesecakes and pumpkin spice martinis, while Battello offered generous views and a spicy chai tea cocktail concoction. Dorrian’s brought on the pub fare with hot buffalo wings with a vodka, cranberry and orange punch to wash down the bites. Bertucci’s kept the pizza coming from plain to pepperoni to sausage and ricotta, while filling cups with a Tito’s Lemonade.  Fire & Oak treated yelpers to a huge spread including their signature bbq ribs, truffled parmesan fries, crab cakes and sushi, and poured pretty personalized cocktails with ginger, sour mix, vodka with a choice of jalapeno or grapefruit.

It was a deliciously amazing time—so many great eats and tasty drinks.  We had so much fun and definitely went home with happy bellies and an urge to return to many of the highlighted restaurants. Can’t wait until the next yelp event!

Last week I had the opportunity to check out the newly opened Beacon Bar, filling out the Beacon Block, in the Upper West Side. The Beacon Bar is in the company of the legendary Beacon Theatre (where I have seen Adele and the Civil Wars), and the theater's official hotel, Hotel Beacon. The area brings tourists and people from the neighborhood alike to witness excellent life performances, hang out and explore, making the location perfect for a new chic bar and lounge. Take a peak at my article for Miss A, and feast (or drink) with your eyes some of the tastes from the Beacon Bar.

Do you have any bar recommendations for a nice night out, with good food and better drinks? Leave me some food for thought, so I can try new places out. Can't wait to hear from you!
