Home My Public Portal AboutA Central Jersey Dining Guide 2022 OnlineA Central Jersey Dining Guide “Come to Carteret for dinner & a show!” 2 Dear Neighbor: I would like to invite you to discover the Borough of Carteret. With more than $2.5 billion in private redevelopment, exciting festivals, and an array of shopping opportunities, Carteret is quickly becoming a premier destination for individuals throughout the Central Jersey region. We have invested more than $250 million in public improvements by upgrading our parks; the construction of the marina, Waterfront Park, and Riverwalk, and the expansion of a downtown, including the state-of-the-art URSB Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center, swiftly becoming the centerpiece of a borough whose motto is “The Center of It All.” With more and more people visiting Carteret each year, we have seen a rapid expansion of dining options that are sure to please, whatever your tastes might be. Carteret is now home to some of Central New Jersey’s most enjoyable dining experiences. More eateries are coming to Carteret to join our beloved establishments, such as Alfredo’s Pizza, Burger Express, Monai’s Soul Food, and The Halal Spot. There’s always room to grow! If you are a restauranteur, chef, or manager of a restaurant, and have an interest in opening an eatery or an expansion of your current business, Carteret, the New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone, and the Carteret Business Partnership can help you! We have an array of grants and loans available to help promote the success of small businesses in the Borough. Additionally, the Borough’s status as an Urban Enterprise Zone allows you to take advantage of numerous state benefits, including several tax incentives, and in many cases, only 3.5% sales tax for customers. The pages that follow will let you discover for yourself what so many people already know; that Carteret is a great place to live, work, and dine! Mayor Daniel J.
