Dining

grill_webThere are a variety of dining options within walking distance of Festival sites, from fine dining to more casual fare. Many area restaurants will feature Festival specials for attendees.

NJPAC has three restaurants on site including the gourmet new American cuisine of Theatre Square Grill; the cool, chic, Paris-inspired Theatre Square Bistro; or the casual, Latin-inspired outdoor restaurant Calçada for a sandwich or wood oven pizza.

Across from NJPAC at our host hotel, The Robert Treat, you can enjoy the laid back atmosphere and sample the broad menu of their Maize restaurant.

Shuttles will be running to Newark's famous Ironbound section, known for its Portuguese and Spanish cuisine and the popular Ferry Street.
