Larison’s Turkey Farm Is Getting New Life in Chester

For generations of New Jersey families, a trip to Chester meant three things: the flea market, the farms, and dinner at Larison’s Turkey Farm Inn. You lingered in Adirondack chairs on the front lawn, listened for your name over the loudspeaker and filed inside for family-style platters of turkey and sides.

This NJ pasta shop makes 10,000 ravioli a week the old-fashioned way

Flour. Water. Egg. It starts simply, said Dominick Discenza. Building on those three ingredients with "only the best" in cheeses, meats, spices, herbs and oils is the key to Discenza and his family-run L&D Sapore Ravioli & Cheese in Middlesex. For more than 55 years, the Discenza family has shared Italian traditions, family recipes and fresh pasta through its deli and pasta shop. The shop was recently named to Yelp’s 2026 list of the Top 100 Pasta Places in the U.S. Like many of the pasta shops on the list, Sapore's roots run deep into Italian territory, with chef-owners who hail from traditional pasta makers. Many learned the craft from their families with recipes handed down from generation to generation. At Sapore Ravioli, the story begins in the small village of Baranello, Italy. Dicsenza learned to cook while watching and working with his grandparents before he came to the U.S. at age 12 with his family. They would get milk from the cows, make it into mozzarella. They grew olives to make olive oil. Everything was "in the family," he said. Those traditions and flavors remain with him today. Discenza founded Sapore Ravioli & Cheese in 1970, determined to share

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.

5 Best Restaurants in Paterson, New Jersey You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Paterson, New Jersey — a city where the Passaic River tumbles over Great Falls and the streets pulse with the music of many tongues, where old textile mills stand beside vibrant bodegas, and the air is alive with the scent of shawarma, empanadas, and fried chicken. Here, the city’s heart beats in the laughter of Dominican families on stoops, the quiet pride of Turkish grocers, the dreams of Palestinian bakers, and the hustle of newcomers drawn by the promise of something better. Paterson is a patchwork — of old-timers and new arrivals, of poets and shopkeepers, of students and dreamers, all weaving their stories into the city’s living fabric.
