Tops Diner
Just across the river in East Newark, Tops Diner is an easy five-minute drive from Forest Hill. The large parking lot and efficient service make it simple to visit any time. The menu covers everything from eggs Benedict and pancakes to hearty burgers and crab cakes, so you can drop in at any hour and find something that hits the spot.
What really stands out is the dessert display. Huge slices of cheesecake and mile-high chocolate layer cake beckon from behind the glass. Many people pick up whole cakes to go at the dedicated bakery window, which is perfect when you want a celebration treat without the wait. It's a handy way to grab something sweet after work.
