From fine dining—Caffé Gelato (90 E. Main St., 738-5811, caffegelato.net) and Stone Balloon Winehouse (115 E. Main St., 266-8111, stoneballoonwh.com)—to the fun and whimsical—the recently opened Main Street Sliders (133 E. Main St., 738-4664, mainstreetsliders.com) and Yogo Berry Frozen Yogurt (129 E. Main St., 737-8140, yummyogo.com)—Newark has your appetite covered.

A private nutrition club in Trader’s Alley, MainStream offers 109 different smoothie flavors, protein bars and energy drinks that “are not bad for you,” owner Stephen Fangman says. MainStream also sells skin care products and supplements.
