Some people take a number and wait in line for crumb cake before most of the shore town is even awake. The doors open at 6:30 in the morning, and the line forms anyway. The shop itself is small. Yet the display cases hold crumb buns, jelly donuts, turnovers, pudding cakes, and a blueberry scone that keeps popping up in conversations about this place.
A pound cake can still be warm when it lands in your shopping bag. That alone should tell you what kind of place this is. The pretzels get twisted by hand and brushed with butter right in front of the counter. The line for them can stretch long, and nobody seems to mind.

Peruvian food has a funny way of putting French fries where you least expect them. Order lomo saltado and they arrive tossed alongside seared beef, tomatoes, and onions, with white rice waiting on the same plate. Then there is ceviche sharpened with lime, rotisserie chicken darkened over charcoal, fried rice...
THC seltzers could vanish from NJ liquor store shelves Friday unless Gov. Mikie Sherrill signs S4635. Thursday may be your last easy pickup.
Every roll on the all-you-can-eat menu gets made only after you ask for it. No buffet trays here, and no sushi sitting under a heat lamp waiting for a brave soul. The menu runs deep, too. Sashimi, special rolls, gyoza, tempura, udon, and even green tea ice cream all fall under one flat price.

FREEHOLD -- Picture yourself in Italy, sipping an espresso, nibbling something delicious, and enjoying that feeling that comes from being someplace beautiful. Now imagine it close to home, at the newly opened Cafe Scala. Owners John and Kim Scala will officially open their cafe Saturday, Nov. 14, after a weeklong soft opening. Cafe Scala is tucked along Bannard Street, just a few blocks from the borough's busy downtown, and sits besides the couple's other business, New York Shaving Company. The cafe, John Scala said, was a true labor of love that took several years to build in the barber shop's former storage area. A window between the two lets customers of each peek through to the other side.
