Starting Sunday, October 18, 2026 — new Newark rule: landlords pay their own broker fees. If you're apartment hunting in Newark, nobody should be asking YOU for one.

Questions about what you should (and shouldn't) be paying? Message me.

Event 🗓 There's a live murder mystery happening at Newark Local Beer tomorrow night (Oct 23)

39 Upvotes

​

If you're looking for something different to do in Newark this Halloween season, there's a live murder mystery happening at Newark Local Beer tomorrow night.

It's called Ghostly Pursuits, and the premise is pretty ridiculous in the best way: a wealthy family is gathering for a Halloween party one year after a suspicious death. There will be themed cocktails, beer, food, family secrets, questionable characters, and apparently nobody can be trusted.

It's an interactive show, so guests get to follow the mystery and try to figure out who's responsible. Costumes are encouraged.

Newark Local Beer at 538 Broad st

Friday, October 23

7 PM

Tickets are available at the door for $15.00 or on partiful before the event for $10. Purchase discounted tickets here!

This is always my favorite spot in the park because I can use my infrared lut for my filmmaking.
I don’t see much infrared videos or photos around Newark.

I saw someone on this sub say that moving near Garside St was not a good idea. They said it wasnt safe about 4 years ago. Should I avoid that area of the North Ward?
