5 Best Italian Restaurants in Elizabeth, New Jersey that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Elizabeth, New Jersey — a city where the rails hum with memory, where the Passaic River bends past brick rowhouses and the scent of garlic and basil drifts through neighborhoods stitched together by generations of newcomers and old souls. Here, the city’s heart beats in the laughter of families at Warinanco Park, in the swirl of languages at Elmora’s corner stores, in the endless parade of flavors that spill from kitchens both grand and humble. Elizabeth is a place where Portuguese, Salvadoran, Dominican, and Italian roots run deep — where every meal is a gathering, every block a crossroads, every story a recipe passed down and remade.

A 24-year-old chef lowered $25 steak dinners from his Brooklyn apartment window by pulley, then one person reportedly kept filing 311 complaints

Some Guy’s House, a Brooklyn steak pop-up that lowered dinners from an apartment window, has shut down after only about two weeks, following a string of complaints to the city. Chef Chianli Hang, 24, ran the pop-up, and its website now says it is “no longer operating” and that all current and upcoming orders are being refunded, as reported by Dexerto . Hang’s landlord reportedly told him that one person had filed multiple complaints with New York City’s 311 system. Six complaints were reportedly filed about the pop-up, and two of them led to written warnings from the city’s Department of Health being sent to the landlord. “We were really excited for the send-off. But then we got shut down,” Hang said. The group had planned to operate for one more week, fill around 100 pre-orders, and possibly throw a DJ-backed send-off party. However, the landlord reportedly worried the apartment might be functioning as a full-scale commercial kitchen. The pulley idea only lasted about two weeks Hang and five friends launched Some Guy’s House as a limited food experiment and social media project. Instead of a storefront, they used a homemade pulley system to lower steak dinners from their second-floor

Neither is pork jowl fried in panko, lobster-tail tempura or ramen built around a bright yuzu-salt broth. But that mismatch between format and food is...

New Dumont diner carries on the legacy of its 100-year-old location

A new diner in Dumont is looking to carry on the legacy of an establishment that served New Jersey residents for over 100 years. Dumont Brothers Diner had its grand opening ceremony on Nov. 9, welcoming hundreds of people, from regulars to the borough's mayor and council members. Many may remember that location as Dumont Crystal Diner, the oldest diner in Bergen County, which had served customers since 1925. Brothers Gus and John Grimanis bought the building at 45 W. Madison Ave. earlier in 2026 when they got word that the diner was going to close. The Grimanis brothers aspire to keep the old diner’s spirit alive while adding their own recipes, customs and hospitality. “We want to stay here another 100 years,” Gus Grimanis told NorthJersey.com. The brothers, who are originally from the Greek island of Andros, have over 40 years of experience owning and operating diners throughout New Jersey. They previously owned diners in Totowa, Paterson and West Orange. They first entered the restaurant business with their father, who taught them about the industry and community hospitality. Customers may notice that the “vintage” feel of Dumont Crystal is still there, with the same memorabilia and photographs. The brothers

This No-Frills Queens Pizzeria Has Locals Crossing Boroughs For One More Thin-Crust Pie

Some New Yorkers will ride the train, sit in traffic, or drive in from Long Island for a pizza they could easily replace with something closer to home. They just refuse to. In a quiet corner of Forest Hills, Queens, there is a small pizzeria where the crust is thin, the menu is short, and nobody seems to want it any other way. You will not find a slice counter, a flashy sign, or a long list of trendy extras.
