New Jersey's favorite spot for foodies

Historic Urban Mass Transit Walkable Restaurants

The historic Chambersburg neighborhood lies in southeast Trenton, New Jersey. Like much of Trenton, Chambersburg is filled with historic brick buildings, left over from the area’s industrial past; several of these buildings have been repurposed into apartments and retail space in recent years. Popularly known as "the 'Burg," the community has long been known for celebrating its Italian heritage, which cultivated a thriving restaurant scene over the years. As time has passed, the culinary scene has diversified with the population, and eateries like the Italian People’s Bakery on Butler and Mi Tierra on South Clinton continue to attract foodies from across the city. Locals also enjoy convenient access to the Sun National Bank Center arena and the Trenton Transit Center train station.

Crime is high and safety is always a concern. Police usually patrol areas that are high in crime and violence, keeping people safe but the constant presence of police is also a bit overwhelming. I've learned that it seems to always have your thoughts shifted negatively in the moment. Makes you wonder sometimes what bad situation is going to occur next.
