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.

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
