The Tri-State area is no stranger to The Mexi-Boys. Their original take on traditional Mexican flavors has been popular since they first debuted their food truck in 2020.

Ask anyone in North Jersey what to call that salty, griddled breakfast meat, and you will get a firm answer: Taylor ham. Pile it with a fried egg and melted American cheese on a hard roll or bagel, and you have the unofficial state breakfast. Plenty of places sell one,...

THC seltzers could vanish from NJ liquor store shelves Friday unless Gov. Mikie Sherrill signs S4635. Thursday may be your last easy pickup.
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...

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.
In New Jersey, Christmas Eve dinner often starts at the fish counter, not the kitchen. Families who keep the Feast of the Seven Fishes tradition know that the best shrimp, clams, scallops, and whole fish go fast once December hits. The smart move is calling in your order early at...
Once the boardwalk games close and the beach badges go back in the drawer, a lot of Jersey Shore restaurants lock up until spring. The diners are a different story. Up and down the coast, from North Wildwood to Monmouth County, a handful of booths and counters keep the coffee going all winter long for the people who actually live here. These seven spots are open seven days a week, serve real food at fair prices, and give you a reason to drive to the shore even when it is cold out.
A diner in this lineup shows up in the original 1980 Friday the 13th movie. Fans still make trips to see it, especially when the calendar lands on Friday the 13th. Another one keeps a dining car from 1927 and has model trains as part of the scenery. A third sits in a railroad-style car built in 1938, and it’s called the oldest operating diner in New Jersey.
Necessity is the mother of invention. And in this New Jersey pizzeria’s case, the mother of a glorious, carb-loaded Frankenstein. You have probably seen gimmicky pizzas before. Toppings piled high.

November 12 is "National Pizza with Everything Except Anchovies Day" — yes, that's a real holiday! — which means it's the perfect opportunity to grab a slice loaded with all of the best toppings in New Brunswick! With so many pizzerias dotted across the College Avenue campus, Rutgers is the perfect place to find new combinations, with no limit on fixings, crust styles or sauces.
With Pop Up Bagels having many locations in New York City prior to opening in Westfield, the online buzz for this place was major. All over social media, people were describing the unique schmears and fluffy bagels Pop Up Bagels has to offer. With the first New Jersey location just one town over, it was a must try to see if it was truly worth the hype.
Planning dinner for a big group can be tricky, because everyone wants something different and somebody always gets bored waiting for food. Hibachi solves both problems at once. You sit around a big flat grill, a chef cooks steak, chicken, shrimp, and fried rice right in front of you, and...
