Newark Readers Praise Local Businesses: Café, Pets, Real Estate

NEWARK, NJ — Newark isn’t shy when it comes to offering recommendations for their favorite businesses.

Patch recently asked our readers to submit nominations for the best businesses of the year. We got a bunch of replies in the Brick City.

One reader gave a shout out to Blueprint Café, writing that they have “great food, great customer service and a great atmosphere.”

Another reader offered praise for Bully Zone Pet Supplies, writing that they have “good service.”

It wasn’t just restaurants and stores that earned kudos from local residents, however.

One reader offered a shout out to Hanini Group, a real estate development firm located in Newark that’s gained a reputation for rehabbing historic properties in the city.

The reader praised the firm for “their commitment to Newark and the community, as well as fostering responsible and sustainable development.”

SHINING A SPOTLIGHT

To shine a special spotlight on these local businesses, we’re asking our Patch readers to nominate Local Businesses of the Year (fill out the form below).

Please tell us the name of the business, where it is located, why it deserves to be recognized and what specific actions have earned your allegiance. Please be as specific as possible, as your comments may be included in a Patch feature article about the local business.

You can nominate any local business you feel should be recognized. That includes retail stores, restaurants, hardware shops, dry cleaners, plumbers, car mechanics, salons and more. You can even nominate the business you work for if you feel they've gone above and beyond in helping their employees through this uncharted time.

Patch will regularly feature nominated businesses throughout November and December. Please submit your nomination by Dec. 10.

Additionally, if you are a local business owner who would like to share more information about your services and offerings, sign up to be included in Patch's free Local Business Information Center.
