Better Days
This brand-new casual eatery and cocktail bar is perched on Newark Ave right above sister restaurant 143 Social (see above). It’s the perfect place to grab dinner before heading downstairs to the speakeasy bar, or it’s a spot to spend your whole night. Grab a few drinks to wash down your curry mussels, pork belly banh mi and duck confit poutine. Gabriel Rieben once again impresses with a well-rounded cocktail list that sees the likes of banana-spiked rum old fashioneds, mezcal sours and biscotti-flavored Manhattans. With plenty of vegan options and non-alcoholic cocktail choices, Better Days is the spot for your next night out—no matter who it’s with.
