Things To Do

NDD Beaver Street Café

Take a break at the NDD Beaver Street Café—an outdoor café on a classic brick paved road on Beaver Street in downtown Newark. The café features 18 tables and seats beneath colorful umbrellas offering a place to sit and enjoy your lunch or simply have a coffee from one of the many businesses surrounding the area, including Scully’s, a local tavern on Clinton Street who has agreed to provide outdoor service to customers who choose to dine in the Beaver Street Café.

The café is open for public use during the lunch hours of 11:00 am through 2:00 pm Monday through Friday and is located between Clinton and Market Streets. Other features include special events such as “Karaoke Fridays” and a Farmers Market. The scenery is a Newark historical setting with recent improvements such as newly installed benches and bicycle racks, decorative lighting fixtures, and freshly bloomed annuals in beautiful planters lining the street.

NDD Farmers Market

The NDD Farmers Market has become one of the most popular open-air markets in the area. For 2010 we are proud to announce we have even more local vendors offering healthy and fresh produce, a variety of baked goods, artisan gifts, homemade soaps, candles, and much more! Enjoy live music as you shop, sample, and catch up with friends and neighbors each week in Military Park.

The 2010 NDD Farmers Market starts on June 24th and runs every Thursday through October 28th, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.
