Roselle Fans Swear By This No-Frills New Jersey Chicken Shack Where The Owner Remembers His Regulars

Some places earn loyalty with fancy decor. Others earn it by knowing your order before you finish saying hello. On a busy stretch of Roselle, New Jersey, there is a small take-out counter where people have been coming back for years, some since they were little kids. The menu stretches well past fried chicken, the doors stay open until the early morning hours, and the man behind the counter has a habit of remembering faces.

Holiday Kielbasa Orders Start Now At These 5 Old Polish Delis Across New Jersey

7 Feast of the Seven Fishes dishes Italian-American families made for Christmas Eve, from fried baccalà to octopus salad

Christmas Eve in Italian-American households across New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn meant a table loaded with fish and nothing else. The practice comes from the Roman Catholic observance of abstaining from meat on the vigil of Christmas. In Southern Italian families, that abstinence became an occasion, and those families carried it to South Philly, Bensonhurst, and Newark's First Ward. In Italy the meal was La Vigilia; in America it picked up a new name, the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

This Beloved New York Deli Serves Some Seriously Heaping Pastrami Sandwiches

The pastrami here cures for more than a week before it gets smoked, steamed twice, and stacked sky-high on rye. That’s patience you can actually taste. The bread never gets toasted, and cheese never shows up. This kitchen follows kosher tradition, and I like how it sticks to its rules without apology.

Where to Find the Best Pastrami Sandwiches in New York City

As someone who was born and raised in New York City, I’ve eaten a lot of pastrami sandwiches in my life. Delicatessens have always been a huge part of New York culture, right up there with our pizzerias and bagel stores. There aren’t as many traditional Jewish delis as there used to be. Neighborhoods have changed, families have moved, and some famous establishments have closed. But the pastrami sandwich is still one of the great New York foods, and a handful of old names continue to attract people from all over the city and the world.

New Jersey’s Japanese Marketplace Turns a Grocery Run Into a Ramen Lunch

Half of this building is a grocery store. The other half is a Japanese food court with ramen, taiyaki, crepes, and a bakery. I love that idea. You can grab rice balls, then wander toward fresh fish, imported snacks, and housewares in the same trip. It all sits along the...

8 exceptional bakeries to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey

Getting put on the Thanksgiving pie article is tough, because — contrary to the dinner, which is easy to mess up — I genuinely believe holiday pies are better homemade. For 98% of the time. Buttery crust filled with mom's hand-whisked custard, caramelized apples peeled by grandma; swirl on the whipped cream and you've got a slice of culinary heaven that's impossible to top... ...unless your local pastry shop is run by someone who also happens to bake at that level, in addition to having a cake-centric career, a cookie-inspired Instagram page and a professional dessert education. (Sorry, Grandma. You're not Christina Tosi .) Since I've been assigned this duty, then, I've compiled a few bakeries that can compete with, or — God forbid — surpass, the treats of our most beloved family members. From Bergen, Passaic, Morris and Essex counties, here are eight exceptional bake spots to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey. **NOTE: Pre-ordering is recommended, if not required, at most spots. Details included. Black Magic Bakehouse, Ridgewood Black Magic Bakehouse is at the top of the Bergen pastry food chain, as the sourdough destination wows guests with innovative bakes — from Carrot Cake Cinnamon Rolls to Key

A Classic Puerto Rican Lunch Counter Still Shines in East Harlem

The last time I ate at Lechonera La Isla was about five years ago, when the guy who I only ever knew as Hector was still running the place. This was during that pre-vax pandemic winter of 2021, and the masked-up chef and owner piled on his steam-table delights from behind sheets of cheap plexiglass. It was a grim era to be sure, and I had to "picnic" in a snow-covered pocket park nearby, but man did it make me happy to tuck into Hector's overflowing platters of Puerto Rican classics.
