An Italian Bakery By Day And A Cozy Trattoria By Night Makes This New Jersey Spot Extra Special

The bread starter here dates back to 2003. Yep, the same mother yeast has been feeding loaves for over two decades. That alone made me look twice. The bread gets baked in a brick oven with organic flour. Then there are bomboloni, cookies, and made-to-order sandwiches stacked on that bread.

This amaretto made from grandma's secret recipe is now sold in NJ

A boutique amaretto brand made with a Sicilian grandmother’s century-old family recipe is booming, and to absolutely no one’s surprise, it’s starting its cross-state journey in the Italian-American haven of New Jersey. Oak City Amaretto , made without caramel coloring or artificial flavors and founded by a Navy veteran in the “City of Oaks” of Raleigh, North Carolina, is now for sale in New Jersey. Amaretto is an almond liqueur with Italian roots. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or amaretto sour. Oak City Amaretto founder Anthony Scalabrino grew up watching his grandmother, Giacoma “Jennie” Scalabrino, make the amaretto for the holidays. After joining the Navy in 2010, he made it for his fellow service members. They all wanted the recipe, but just as his grandmother wanted, he kept it a secret. Although the recipe remains a secret, Scalabrino is now sharing his family’s amaretto with the public. In Central Jersey, Oak City Amaretto can currently be purchased at Wegmans in Bridgewater, Woodbridge, Princeton and Manalapan, as well as Hamilton Super Buy Rite. Additional locations will be added on an ongoing basis and listed at Oak City Amaretto’s website .

Op-Ed: A 14.8% year didn’t fix it

New Jersey's pension fund reported a final, unaudited return of 14.82% for the fiscal year ended June 30, and the state has budgeted a record $7.3 billion contribution for fiscal 2027. CalPERS reported 14.8% . A strong year is welcome news, but it repairs none of the rules that dug the hole, and Congress shouldn't let one talk it out of writing a minimum standard for public pensions. I've spent more than 30 years in institutional investment management and work as an expert witness in fiduciary cases, where the questions always concern process: what the fiduciary knew, what he weighed, and what he wrote down. Results come later. Any coach knows the same thing. I've coached youth rugby for years and a blowout win over a weak opponent is great for morale but does little to improve the defense. The numbers show how little a great year changes. Equable Institute projects the national funded ratio at 85.0% for fiscal 2026, the best since 2009 if it holds, with $1.13 trillion still unfunded. Employers now contribute a record 31.83 cents of every payroll dollar, and only 9.42 cents of that funds new benefits. The rest services old debt. New Jersey's state-administered
