Food scene

There is a lot of information on World Trade but be sure to check out Brookfield Place while you are in that area... https://brookfieldplaceny.com/ There are seasonal events and exhibits there as well as many designer shops and upscale chain food options, like Mighty Quinns, Olive's, Umami Burger, Nam Pang and many many others. The seating area overlooks the Hudson River and the skyline of downtown Jersey City. It's very busy at lunch hour on week days, so a little off the lunch rush is preferable. You can wait on a line and order/pick up your food and then grab your seats (the best seat views get snatched up first so you might want designated seat grabbers while others in your group wait on the line to get the food). Le District on the main floor has an amazing imported food and spice market as well as upscale dining areas, or pre-made food counters.

Luggage Storage

if you are flying back through JFK or LGA and don't want to come back to NJ, luggage storage is another option... Bounce app is an excellent resource for luggage storage all over the world. We have used it and had a very good experience with it. There are also luggage storage companies in NYC.
