Why Fans Keep This Place in the Mix

Ferry Street — Newark Portuguese District in Harrison sits inside a destination with celeb-linked mentions and strong event density. We connect this place to nearby game, show, and concert opportunities for fan weekend planning.

Ferry Street in Newark's Ironbound district — a short walk or PATH train ride from Red Bull Arena — is one of America's great Portuguese and Spanish restaurant districts, where the extraordinary concentration of Old World restaurants serves soccer fans heading to and from Red Bull Arena with the most authentic Iberian food outside Europe. Casa Vasca, Fernandes Steak House, and dozens of neighbouring establishments have fed generations of soccer fans whose love of the beautiful game connects naturally to the Iberian cultures that produced it. The Ironbound's match-day atmosphere, with Portuguese flags and soccer jerseys visible in every restaurant window, is one of American soccer's most distinctive environments.
