PERTH AMBOY HAS A RESTAURANT FOR EVERY TASTE AND EVERY OCCASION.

Perth Amboy Eats is an initiative born during the COVID pandemic to assist restaurants in the The Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP) District a sector of the Business Improvement District (BID), creating a website for the eateries in the district in order to promote contactless ordering through the use of QR codes which lead to individual online menus. The City of Perth Amboy received funding from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs to promote the continued recovery and revitalization of Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP) communities in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Additional projects that have been carried out with the NPP COVID Relief Funds include; small business rental assistance grants in the amount of $20,000 each, the installation of sanitation stations in the NPP district, and the purchase and distribution of face masks.

Additional eateries along the Amboy Avenue corridor were added to the website through a collaboration with the Jewish Renaissance Foundation’s Perth Amboy Alliance Community (PAAC) which is funded through the Neighborhood Revitalization Tax Credit (NRTC) program. PAAC has made and continues to make an indelible impact on the neighborhood whose borders are Amboy Avenue from Inslee to Washington (West), Washington from Amboy to the train tracks (South), the train tracks from Washington to Inslee (East) and Inslee from the train tracks to Amboy Avenue (North). Most recently the JRF was awarded approximately $270K under the CARES Act targeted at helping the PAAC neighborhood weather the COVID 19 pandemic. These funds were used in part to provide cash assistance to help our small businesses with their rent/mortgage responsibilities and a variety of other materials including sanitizer, masks and outdoor sanitation stations in partnership with the City.

When you get hungry have fresh seafood on the water or go to the city center where you can enjoy foods from all over the globe or an “empanada” from Jersey’s top empanada restaurants. As the afternoon unfolds, join Perth Amboy residents, workers and visitors who liven up Smith Street, Perth Amboy’s Downtown – shopping district, for a great dinner and live music at one of the several great venues.
