Gypsy Grill
Catering For All Occasions
Downtown Jersey City is a Mecca for delicious food, and Gypsy Grill offers some of the best Middle Eastern food around. Fresh, natural ingredients are the start to a satisfying meal. Egyptian cuisine dates back to the time of the pharaohs. Pyramid builders survived on a diet of onions, garlic, coarse bread, and beer. Beer is now mostly out of the picture, but those basic ingredients, supplemented by tomatoes, okra, eggplant, favas, lentils, pasta, and rice still form the foundation of hearty Egyptian food today. Meat has always been sparse for Egyptians, given the small sliver of grazable land on either side of the Nile. But dairy cattle provide a variety of farmer-style cheeses to enhance these delicious dishes. 187 Newark Avenue, Jersey City 201.839.5115 gypsygrillny.com

For 35 years this family-owned and operated restaurant has crafted all its dishes with love and care. Loyalty to customers and family traditions are a huge part of everything it does. All food is prepared fresh. That means the cooking starts as soon as you’ve placed your order, and not a second before. 406 Broadway, Bayonne 201.858.2448. lucianosbayonne.com
This Bayonne sushi restaurant was a dream of Yi and Zara Wang, a husband and wife team who were running the popular Shop Rite sushi bars in Bayonne and Hoboken. In 2017 their dream was realized when they opened Yi Sushi Go in Bayonne. The restaurant is small and styled to encourage takeout, but the quality of the sushi is top notch and far from fast food. They feel it’s important to treat every customer like a friend, and cook for them as you would your own family. While you wait for your sushi, help yourself to the complimentary “tea of the day.” 266 Broadway, Bayonne 201.823.2011 yisushigo.com
