I was walking all around Peterstown today. I have a week off from work and staying in one or the Elizabeth hotels so I figured whatever.
Crossing Elizabeth Ave. heading south/southwest into Peterstown and the neighborhood takes on much nicer look than the rest of Elizabeth, which is rather tough. The Portuguese are trying to make it nice but it isn't as nice as Peterstown.
I wanted to walk down past the Ribera Club and pretend I was headed to the community center but that would have looked shady. So I took in the partially open restaurants (John's caffe, rilottos, barrones). Some nice Italian flags and American flags in the neighborhood but mostly Portuguese flags. LOTS of Virgin Mary statues in front of homes.
