Alexander Hamilton once rode up to this building in December 1776. Today, the big draw is a burger made from house-ground sirloin, chuck, and short rib. The original structure went up between 1739 and 1742 as a private home. By 1765, it was feeding stagecoach travelers on the busy Philadelphia to New York route. That’s a long run of serving hungry people.

Food truck festivals pack New Jersey parks in November, from wing eating competitions in Mullica Hill to taco and empanada celebrations in South Bound Brook. Each event brings live music and crowds looking for something beyond the usual.
The best dinner suggestion often comes with instructions: order the burger, bring three friends for the sandwich, call well ahead for a table. That is how a restaurant becomes part of somebody’s routine, then somebody else’s. A good tip gets passed around at work, over a backyard fence,...
One deli in New Jersey sells eight kinds of kielbasa, smoked right on site. Eight. I had no idea a single counter could hold that much garlic and smoke. That discovery sent me down a very hungry rabbit hole. Some of these shops open before sunrise. One runs a hot...
