Top Grub Spots In Bayonne, NJ

Ahhhhh Bayonne. The Jerseyans' version of Brooklyn. Located south of Jersey City, north of Staten Island, across the harbor from New York City. Home of many immigrants or offspring of immigrants, namely: Italian, Polish, Irish, Asian, Puerto Rican, Middle Eastern, Dominican etc. An eclectic town that is often forgotten when thinking of close towns to NYC. It's a gem, really. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and always just heard funny sayings about exit 14A and clever little sayings about the town. "Exit 14A, stay away" or "if she's from Bayonne, leave her alone". I never thought I would call this place home... that is until I met my wife here 7 years ago! I quickly fell in love with this little town, with big diverse eats. Now, a town I call home. One of those towns where "everyone knows everyone" kinda feel. Its refreshing! And I'm all about supporting local business.
