Best Portuguese - For years I worked with a Portuguese woman and when we were looking for a restaurant in the Ironbound I would ask her current advice on the best Portuguese food there; she always said “Tony’s”. Their extensive menu of fresh seafood can be prepared any way you like it but my favorite is the Prawns with Tony’s special sauce. Joyce likes the Grouper chunks and artichokes in a garlic sauce. Prices are very reasonable especially when you consider you get a wonderful homemade soup and vegetable sides with every entrée. Oh yes, ask for the homemade chips and wash it all down with a pitcher of white sangria. Very convenient to Liberty Airport and the Newark train station. Use your GPS to get there and back, or, you could just take me. Zagats rated.
