More familiar names. 2/15
http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=e...UVFeXk2NDg4NDU1
I can't believe the Hasbrouck Heights Exxon got a conditional. I tried to get a reservation there for Valentine's Day but they were already booked. Now I am glad I couldn't get in.
Went to the Lodi Sunoco instead. Had a great Truck Stop Cheeseburger that was microwaved perfectly. The side of Wise Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips was sublime. Washed it down with a 20oz. Diet Pepsi from a supreme soft drink distributor in the Hudson Valley region of New York.
I would highly recommend this place.

the Allendale Bar & Grill (AB&G - in allendale)) has a great burger. and i suppose, by extension, so does the Mawah Bar & Grill (in mahwah i'd guess), although i've never been there.
perfectly cooked to m/r. great char, but still moist and rare on the inside. good burger-to-bun ratio. highly recommended.
i don't think this place has a website. but it doesn't need one. it's a freakin gold mine as it is.
The AB&G does have a good burger but their Cheddar Ale Burger is disgusting.

best thing crust: kinchley's.
almost the best thin crust: brooklyn's in hackensack (not the other locations).
best boardwalk pizza: the sawmill in seaside. i could eat this stuff every day.
How about Nellie's place in Waldwick??
I do like Kinchley's but Nellies is the best thin crust in North Jersey!!!
Notice I said North Jersey. The best thin crust in New Jersey is Carmen's a.k.a. Pete and Elda's in Neptune City, followed by Maria's in Manasquan.

I hate when you pay with cash and the waitress/waiter asks if you want change.
"Don't worry if I want change or not, just bring the money back and collect your god damn tip after I leave"

Thanks for your report. But if the entree was $14.95 and you split 2 entrees for 6 people ($30) that comes to $5 a serving.
We were just interested in sampling one of the appetizing pasta dishes, without ordering it as our main meal. We didn't really want to spend $5 each to sample a couple of mouthfuls of pasta.

Is there a Ying Ying in Ridgewood?
yup. chinese take-out place. not notable, from my experience, but one of about 50 in town.
i lie. it's the "upscale" place. one of those places with a fish tank. i never quite understood that as the fish in these things never look very tasty. but still, one of about 50 generic places overall. i think the best chinese place is the new "asian fusion" place. i think is called "asia something or another". not too shabby.
Tommy, are you talking about Asian Grill on Prospect???

Well, I went to Andrea's.
It was pretty good. I was really happy with the service. I had one of the many specials they had this evening, Veal Bracciole. It was served with a side of Gnocci. It was very tasty but it was smothered in entirely too much sauce.
The only thing that really turned me off was when we requested one of the pasta entree's as an appetizer. For 6 of us the waiter split 2 entree dishes and charged us 14.95 for each. $30.00 for a pasta appetizer is a little much for a restaurant of this caliber. They could of been a little more reasonable.
Otherwise, we had a pretty enjoyable evening. I would probably return for a 2nd visit...

I had dinner last night at Il Vilino in Waldwick. I wasn't too impressed. Good service, but the food wasn't up to par.
Tonight, I am eating at Andrea's Ristorante East Prospect St. Waldwick.
Any opinions on this place??
The guy at the liquor store in the same strip of stores said it is one of the best in the country. I find that hard to believe so I am reaching out to you folks for feedback...

The sad thing is the gutless boy wonder didn't even understand that it wasn't remotely funny. He said the public wasn't ready. When is NY ever going to be ready for the words "The funny thing about these terrorists attacks is..."?????? It goes so far beyond "what the fuck was the idiot boy thinking"... I'm disgusted beyond words right now. It's one thing to have Rocco hanging it all out looking stupid. It's totally another to give a slap in the face to everyone affected by terrorists attacks. That's not entertainment. And if he does find a crowd that thinks it's funny...heaven help us all.
first of all, Pete did not say "terrorist attacks" he said "terrorist bombings." i know pete through a friend and i saw him do his terroism set to a new york audience and it killed. he was making fun of terrorists - what's wrong with that? (btw his set up for the joke was completely edited) And if you were eluding to Pete not being sensitive to people who endured 9-11, i know for a fact that he was there and saw things with his own eyes. if you heard Pete's jokes about mideast turmoil (i.e. when more than one terrorist organization claims responsibility for the same bombing...how lazy are these terroists) i'd think you'd laugh and heaven would not have to help us all.
Pete is a goof ball. Those corny jokes would have bombed at a Taliban Talent Show.

I wonder if some of the customers are just complaining to get on tv or to just meet Rocco when he comes over to apologize??

I just went to Christina's Cafe in Wyckoff. Sandwich was ok, a little burnt though.
There was a good crowd in the place. Has anyone tried it?
It is in the Boulder Run Shopping Center, a couple of doors down from the Blue Moon Cafe.

I find it so hard to believe that with Jersey shore property at such a premium, a great beach and boardwalk, like Asbury Park is just sitting and wasting. If it weren't for the indigent motels, Asbury would be a ghost town. This is a gold mine going to waste! I cannot believe that it can't be revived.
Asbury was once "the" place to go on the Jersey shore. Remember the Swan boat rides on the lake? Palace amusements, and the theater? And it has a great beach!
What a waste!
The revitalization has started. Take a ride up Cookman Ave. They have some big renovation and new construction projects going on and there are more and more popular restaurants coming to town. Moonstruck is one of the most popular restaurants in the state right now. There is a new Portuguese place on Main Street that is always packed. Give it 2 years and Asbury Park will be one of the top spots on the shore.

3 Brothers Pizza of Italy on Ocean Avenue in Belmar. Hands down the best beachfront pizza around!!
Also Max's Hot Dogs and Windmill in Long Branch. They aren't on the boardwalk, but they are close enough. Both great places!!

Ok i have a small problem. Veronica and i are going to see moving out tomorrow at the richard rodgers theater tomorrow. I wanted to know where i could dine on short notice and still have me out in a short time? Looking for something nice but doesn't require a jacket and tie. Can anyone give me some ideas please?
I see how having to see "Moving Out" could be a problem. I hoped you enjoyed it, because I hated it and so did most of the people sitting around me. I don't know how anyone could stomach a meal after seeing that show. Have fun!!

I used to love going to this place as a kid. The day before Thanksgiving was insane. I have never seen a store so packed. I used to love the doughnuts and hot apple cider they used to give out that day. I think my mom usually has to order her Thanksgiving pies a couple of months in advance.

Just off Elmora, I believe it is shortly before the train tressel there is a small Portuguese barbecue place. Excellent barbecued chicken, rice and fresh cut fries. Large portions at a very low price. Outstanding to-go place.

Kelly's Tavern - Hwy 35 Neptune City, NJ
Extremely popular place on St. Patrick's Day. Excellent Corned Beef dinners and lots of entertainment. Due to the massive crowds the food will be served on plastic dinnerware, menu will be limited and finding a seat will be next to impossible, but it definitely is one of the wildest parties in New Jersey on St. Pat's Day. If you live in the area I definitely suggest you give it a try.

I agree, the two young chefs in training they featured were annoying. They had no zest for cooking. They just moped around the kitchen all day.
I also didn't understand why Mario graded the Sweet Bread dish the way he did. He gave the dish a C+, but he described the food as raw and inedible. Shouldn't a raw and inedible dish have received an F.

It's not too new. It has been there for about a year and a half. It's not bad.
