Larison’s Turkey Farm Is Getting New Life in Chester

For generations of New Jersey families, a trip to Chester meant three things: the flea market, the farms, and dinner at Larison’s Turkey Farm Inn.

This New Jersey Portuguese Restaurant Serves Hearty Meals That Feel Just Like Sunday Dinner

Skewers of slow-roasted meat get carved right at your table here, one juicy slice at a time. That alone is enough to make me hungry before lunch even starts. The walls are lined with vintage Portuguese tiles, and the framed menus speak both English and Portuguese. The same family has kept this kitchen going since the 1970s, and their descendants still run it today.

Your Morning Bagel Run Might Never Be The Same After Visiting This New Jersey Breakfast Spot

Seventeen wire baskets. That’s how many bins of fresh bagels greet you at one small New Jersey shop, and they’re practically overflowing. I have to admit, that number made me look twice. The bagels are typically baked that same morning, so those baskets aren’t just for show.

8 exceptional bakeries to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey

Getting put on the Thanksgiving pie article is tough, because — contrary to the dinner, which is easy to mess up — I genuinely believe holiday pies are better homemade. For 98% of the time. Buttery crust filled with mom's hand-whisked custard, caramelized apples peeled by grandma; swirl on the whipped cream and you've got a slice of culinary heaven that's impossible to top... ...unless your local pastry shop is run by someone who also happens to bake at that level, in addition to having a cake-centric career, a cookie-inspired Instagram page and a professional dessert education. (Sorry, Grandma. You're not Christina Tosi .) Since I've been assigned this duty, then, I've compiled a few bakeries that can compete with, or — God forbid — surpass, the treats of our most beloved family members. From Bergen, Passaic, Morris and Essex counties, here are eight exceptional bake spots to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey. **NOTE: Pre-ordering is recommended, if not required, at most spots. Details included. Black Magic Bakehouse, Ridgewood Black Magic Bakehouse is at the top of the Bergen pastry food chain, as the sourdough destination wows guests with innovative bakes — from Carrot Cake Cinnamon Rolls to Key
