This is an inside peek at the new restaurant in Monroe Township.
A former railroad line now carries bikes, strollers, and dog walkers right along a bay beach with the New York City skyline floating in the distance. That view alone made me stop scrolling. The path is paved, flat, and roughly ten feet wide. Long stretches hug the water, and side...
The top karaoke song in New Jersey is from a Garden State artist
Shark teeth from the age of dinosaurs are hiding in a few New Jersey streams, and you don’t need a ticket to go looking. I can’t get over that. A kitchen strainer and some patience might be the only gear standing between you and a real piece of prehistory.
From chicken parmesan to wood-fired pizza, the Jersey Shore is home to some delicious Italian dining. Two local restaurants just earned statewide recognition!
A train that’s over 100 years old still chugs around a loop every half hour on weekends. Volunteers keep it running. Tickets cost about the same as a fancy coffee. The ride lasts roughly 20 minutes and makes two full laps. That’s it. No giant theme park, no...
A sticky red berry on a common hedge is actually a fleshy cup, and the hard seed tucked inside carries one of the strongest plant poisons in the yard. I had walked past these shrubs for years without noticing that tiny open window at the top of each one. Robins...

BEST CRUMB CAKE? Sophie G's Is Competing In The Dessert Wars, And Their Crumb Cake Will Blow You Away
Yelp ranked the top Indian spots in all 50 states, and only one Garden State name made the top quarter: Bombay River in Red Bank, coming in at 21.
A kiosk is open, a renovated store has returned, and a jewelry shop arrives this month at Freehold Raceway Mall. Work on the front entrances has started too. Criollas Baked Empanadas now sits on the lower level, near Five Below. Local farms supply the ingredients for the empanadas. Journeys held...
A good pupusa announces itself before the first bite. The edges come off the griddle with a little crispness, the center stays soft and steamy, and somewhere inside, cheese is doing its best to escape. Add a forkful of tart curtido and a spoonful of tomato salsa, and suddenly ordering...
In New Jersey, a Sloppy Joe has no ground beef and no sloppy red sauce. It’s a cold, triple-decker stack of deli meat, Swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on thin rye. I love that detail. It tells you this state plays by its own sandwich rules. One deli on this list has been making that sandwich since the 1950s, and another bakes mozzarella talk into daily life.
LaScala's Fire started in PA, grew in Jersey, and now has three more spots coming: Princeton, Freehold and Bridgewater. All made from scratch, just like grandmom.
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.
Good barbecue runs on a clock, and in New Jersey that clock often stops well before dinnertime. Pulled pork takes hours of slow smoking, so once the day’s batch is gone, the kitchen can’t just whip up more. That’s why some of the best smokehouses in the Garden...
