There are several ethnic enclaves in the Gateway where the cuisine of its residents can be had in an authentic as well as touristic way.They include India Square and Little Manila in Jersey City, the Ironbound, a Portuguese neighborhood in Newark, and Bergenline in Union City, where Cuban and other Latin American cultures are concentrated. A large Korean community in the towns near the George Washington Bridge create a sort of suburban Koreatown, while the growing Chinese population in Edison has brought many restaurants with it.A North Jersey tradition is the diner, many of which are open 24 hours, and offer breakfast and blue-plate specials.
