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.

I've lived here for 13 years, And all I can say is I cant walk from my neighbors house to my own without either being cat called or just not feeling safe. Not being able to feel safe walking three houses away isn't a good feeling. I have a younger sister who wants to go play outside but its too dangerous to even let her. All of the kids that live close either have really mean parents, or they're just not in her age group. I can't take her to the park, because there are no swings and it just looks like a junk playground.
