Welcome to eGullet gailtm. Where do you like to dine in the Livingston area?

There's also a salad restaurant coming in there. I think it will be similar to tossed.

Marc & Eric’s Kitchen Pantry and Catering, 381 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair. www.marcanderic.com or call 973-744-6074. We just got back from there and will have the salmon, lasagna and crabcake tonight.

I wanted to wish eveyone a very happy holiday season. What are you doing this weekend? Do you cook a special meal for Christmas or do you dine out? If you are still looking for a place to dine at for Christmas or New Year's there's a list at: http://www.njmonthly.com/rosie/rnews.html We're going to a party tomorrow evening and I think we will go to the movies and for Chinese or Thai food on Sunday.

Epernay in Montclair will also bring the food out to your car.

Dai Kichi - Montclair On Monday and Wednesdays??? Why only on Monday and Wednesdays?

Thanks for the update. I'm going to try to get there for lunch.

Seafood Gourmet 103 West Pleasant Avenue Maywood, NJ 201-843-8558

Doesn't anyone read NJ based food blogs?

Cinque Figlie, 302 Whippany Road, Whippany is a lovely restaurant to have lunch—especially on a Monday when so many places are closed. We started off with shiitake mushrooms stuffed with crabmeat followed by ink squid pasta with grilled scallops and shrimp; and salmon Livornese. If you haven't been here this restaurant is also a wonderful spot for dinner With two glasses of wine the bill with tax and tip was $30 a person. Phone: 973-560-0545.

There's some new information here: "Wholey Free Food, Batman" http://www.baristanet.com/

As of today the audio archives only go to 12/10. I'll check in a few days to see if they have been updated.

Carl Ruiz is a fabulous chef and I am sure many New Jerseyians will be traveling to NY to have his cuisine.

Chef Carl Ruiz will be at Son Cubano, 405 W 14th St, NYC as of Jan. 2. 212-366-1640.

Highlawn just got an Excellent from David Corcoran in the NY Times. There is a hotel next to The Manor which is 1/2 mile from Highlawn.

I've been there a few times. It is right next to my office. It is a great place for steak in NJ. I am not really a steak person and that is certainly the focus. The decor is a bit garish. In my humble opinion. I also prefer BYOB restaurants because I love wine, Strip House has a liquor license with a pretty good wine list but selections by the glass are not that great. It is certainly not a favorite but if you want steak in that area it is probably your best choice. Peter Conway Mano A Vino Montclair Food and Wine Blog ← I had a very good steak at The Strip House. Also I was there for lunch and it was lovely. They have redecorated the restaurant & the "girlie" wallpaper has been removed.

If anyone is interested in having their name on a private "Dining Club" list please send your name and e-mail address to Curlz.
