Tommy's Italian Sausage in Elizabeth, a take-out only storefront that makes its own Sausages and serves it up in the same classic configuration as an Italian Hot Dogs, in a split loaf of what's called Pizzas bread (like a cross between pita and Italian bread) with fried potatoes, onions and peppers.

The predominant flavor of this Sausages is Beef rather than spice, with a satisfying coarse-ground meaty texture. On New Jersey Star Ledger's "100 Greatest Places to Eat in New Jersey" every year.

• Shack's Barbque | 1160 E. Grand Street 40.666578, -74.212617 ☎ +1 908-436-0005 - Another place that makes it to the Star Ledger's "Best Soul Food Place in New Jersey" is Shack's Soul Food Restaurant. They specialize in Home cooked Soul Food, Southern, and Traditional meals.

• Parador Rojo | 344 Morris Ave 40.669735, -74.219026 ☎ +1 908-352-5536 $6-$20 Excellent Columbian food near the heart of downtown Elizabeth. Cozy atmosphere with a diversity of music playing. Open for breakfast. Menu offers everything from delicious fresh soups, mouth-watering appetizers, a diverse selection of soul warming entrees with a selection of various sides, and freshly baked desserts. The portions are extremely large and big enough to share. The menu offers pictures in case you do not speak Spanish.

• Spiritos | 714 3rd Ave 40.657074, -74.206379 ☎ +1 908-351-5414 $10-$15 Entrees A well known Italian Eatery that has been around for a long time. Menu includes salads, Pasta. Pizzas, appetizers and entrees. If you opt to get a salad, get the garlic dressing. One note: when ordering a pie here, request it be made a little well done. Nothing beats the char that forms around the crust, and when thit is mixed with just the right amount of Sauce near the rim of the pie, is one of the most pleasant flavors one can experience. The raviolis are soft and pillowy and they actually melt in your mouth. The epic veal cutlet Parmesan is a champion meal, with a side of ravioli. Epic is in the title of this dish for good reason. The four layers of lightly breaded, pounded thin veal, in between (yet another) sweet Sauces, layers of mozzarella Cheese, served in a boat of what can only be described as saucy, slightly browned, bubbling cheesy goodness easily makes this a "death row last meal." The decor (no windows in the dining room and old-time family photos; same tables, lighting, and booths since the opening in the 1920s--or maybe 1910s); has to be covered. It's a fun place to watch a Yankee game in the restaurant area on a work night.

Stay Safe

Like many other urban cities in the United States, Elizabeth does have its problems, nice areas and bad areas. However, problems can be avoided with common sense. Do not go to areas of town you know nothing about during the night, without someone who knows the area well. It is not very likely that you will be a victim unless you make yourself a victim. The people of Elizabeth carry a mentality of handling their own business and not interfering with others. Thus, if you are walking alone at night, try to remain in well lit areas. It is relatively safe as long as you avoid staring at groups of people. Even if an activity looks suspicious, 9 times out of 10 and they are not even worried about you unless you seem to pose a threat or meddle in their business like a police officer would do.

The downtown area close to the Port of Elizabeth can be very dangerous at night time even for the residents, so stay away from this area at night, and never ever handle large sums of money in public. Otherwise, walking through the city during daylight hours is not a problem, and you should have nothing to worry about. North Elizabeth, Elmora, and Elmora Hills are the calmest parts of the city, and the cleanest.

Also, Elizabeth is a very diverse city with ethnic groups consisting of a majority of Hispanic/Latino citizens from almost every Latin-American nation, especially Colombians, Cubans, and Puerto Ricans, along with Portuguese and Brazilians, and a large African-American community; others include Italians, Polish, Asians, and White Anglo-Saxons. Respect the diversity. Any racial remarks or slurs in any part of the city can result in major problems and confrontations.
