This Free New Jersey Garden Turns a Walk Into a Sculpture Hunt
A free garden in New Jersey hides outdoor sculptures along its trails, and you can hunt for them with a printed map. There’s a regular map and a separate sculpture map. That alone made me curious. The loop trail runs about a mile. It crosses little bridges over a...

A new restaurant blew my mind
I've had some hot takes that've gotten me backlash in the past; not liking Thanksgiving food (it's boring), thoroughly loving Chuck E. Cheese stuffed crust (not sure how anyone couldn't), preferring cinnamon Pop-Tarts to strawberry (the flavor you love is blueberry, trust me. Strawberry is muted) — but I'm about to drop a bomb. For years, I've kept this under wraps. Garden Staters get heated over food, and the debate wasn't one I was willing to spark, because, even if I made a perfectly reasonable case, I'd still receive emails saying my mom "should've chosen Plan B" (yes, that's happened). To demonstrate how fatigued I am with those arguments, however, I say this without a care in the world: I don't like Italian rainbow cookies . They taste like licorice, they reek of almond extract and, as a kid, they lure you into what you think is a chocolate-dipped truffle, but leave you with an underwhelming block of marzipan you'd buy near the register of a T.J. Maxx. Am I wrong? DM me, @northjerseyeats . What I'm sure I'm right about, though — besides the fact that the gooey squares from J&M Bakery might be the one exception to my

Newton claims sectional title, while New Milford RB rewrites history
NEWTON – It’s rare for two of New Jersey’s leading rushers to meet head-to-head, let alone with a sectional championship on the line. With much of the attention centered on the star running backs, both delivered strong performances in the biggest game of the season. But it was Newton’s Evan Cotter who made the biggest impact when the stakes were highest. Behind a dominant effort from the junior running back, Newton rolled to a 40-7 victory over New Milford in the NJSIAA North 1, Group 1 sectional final on Friday, Nov. 13, at Palmer Field in Sussex County. The championship is the Braves' first since 2017 and just the second sectional title in program history. The win sends Newton (12-0) into the Group 1 semifinal, where it will face three-time defending North 2 champion Cedar Grove (10-1) next Friday in Essex County. The Panthers defeated Hasbrouck Heights, 27-7 in the North 2, Group 1 final on Nov. 13, their seventh straight win. While Cotter powered Newton to the championship with 243 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries, Kobe St. Hilaire delivered a historic performance of his own. The New Milford senior rushed for 156 yards and became Bergen County's
