Review by Jerry Z.

NICO Kitchen + Bar offers a cozy spot perfect for a pre-show meal at NJPAC. I tried the honey BBQ wings and buttermilk biscuits - both were fantastic! The wings were hearty, and the warm biscuits paired perfectly with the honey whipped butter. Happy hour was a bonus, with half-priced margaritas that were refreshing.

The atmosphere was casual yet trendy, making it an enjoyable dining experience. Service was prompt despite a busy night. I’ll definitely swing by for dinner before my next show! 🌟
