Inside Charlie Brown’s Fresh Grill in Scotch Plains, Where Jersey Families Still Order the Prime Rib and Salad Bar

Some New Jersey families still talk about a steakhouse chain the way other people talk about their first car. The locations closed one by one, from Millburn to Metuchen, and loyal fans figured the story was over. It was not. One dining room in Scotch Plains kept the lights on,...

Chrome Everywhere, Bright Neon, Red Vinyl Booths: New Jersey Diner Fans Say Lyndhurst’s Colonial Diner Still Hits Different

Some diners try to look old. A few never stopped being old-school in the first place. In Lyndhurst, New Jersey, there is a chrome-covered spot where the menu is thick enough to need a spiral binding and the regulars have been showing up for more than two decades. Truckers passing through end up coming back day after day.

This New Jersey Bakery Brings Traditional Polish And European Baking Together In The Most Delicious Way

On one Fat Thursday, this bakery reportedly sold around 40,000 paczki. That’s not a typo, and yes, that’s a lot of dough. The founder learned his craft at sea in the 1940s. He studied under French, Italian, and Polish bakers aboard a ship sailing between Genoa and New York.

The New York Waterfront Seafood Restaurant Where Huge Portions Come With Hudson River Views

I appreciate a restaurant that gives you the view and the seafood without making you choose. Boats pull up to the dock while plates of mussels Fra Diavolo land on the tables nearby. That’s a normal afternoon at this New York seafood spot, where a working marina sits right beside the dining room.

What makes this Westchester bakery the best for Thanksgiving pies

It's the sights, smells, tastes and sense of nostalgia that make Galloway's Bakery in Scarsdale special. This third-generation bakery, which dates to the late 1940s and is run by the founder's granddaughter, Shannon Galloway, is pretty much exactly as it's always been, which Galloway said is key to its success. (For the record, the website says 1956, but Galloway said she found evidence it was earlier.) "We're plain and simple," she said. "Everything is made by hand. And because we've never branched out, we've stuck to what we do best." That means pies — lots of them, from cherry to coconut to chocolate cream — alongside cakes, cookies, doughnuts, breads, buns and Danish rings. The bakery, which started as a luncheonette in Bronxville before segueing to a spot in Hartsdale, takes pride in keeping to its origins. Ads from The Bronxville Reporter dating to 1952, in fact, list the exact pies that are sold now, among them deep dish apple, chocolate cream and lemon meringue.
