Drive into Lambertville and try #9.

Cafe Matisse is BYO. They do not charge a corkage fee as that would be illegal. Their wine shop is separate from the restaurant.

From your mouth to Arthur's ear!!! No, I don't have a regular gig. Thanks for your kind words.

Cafe Matisse, Rutherford is about 20 minutes from the Meadowlands. BYO.

Hey Lou, Thanks. I appreciate your kind words. Check your e-mail. I sent you a love letter! And you do know that An American Grill is one of my favorite restaurants. Ahhhh---the tuna you serve is the best.

Marge--Have you ever been to Zio Michael which is near Peter's Grill? Any good?

I think they are in the process of buying up the whole town which is maybe 4 blocks by 4 blocks. We stayed at the inn and just walked down the stairs for dinner and rolled up them many hours later. I think there are 12 rooms in the main inn. When we came down for dinner Lowell was given a flower for the lapel of his suit. so he could be id as "one who was staying at the inn." I don't know about the rooms that weren't in the main building. However, it was wonderful. Really wonderful.

We were there and stayed at the Inn and it was worth every penny we rolled.

I have a question. Peter’s Grill & Restaurant, 613 Anderson Ave, Cliffside Park What kind of food? Is it BYO?

Amanda's in Hoboken has a 3 course dinner for $25 for 2 people.

I will be on the Arthur Schwartz radio show sometime tomorrow between 12 and 1 PM. 710AM

YEP! West Orange.

Nick---So sorry about your accident. Did the knife survive? Speedy recovery. Golf does aid the healing process!

Lowell and I had a private tour of the Opus One winery. The place is gorgeous and the wine is treated like a baby. But we weren't impressed with the wine-- liked other Mondavi wines much more. I don't understand what the hype is about. Sorry to be brutally honest but it's just my opinion. However, I think that you are giving a very generous gift and enough people like the wine to keep the price where it is.

I have taken the following explanation from the Bergen Record Health Violations page. "The ratings explained: Conditional - first violation of the state Sanitary Code. Conditional on reinspection - second violation. Satisfactory on reinspection - violation repaired. Unsatisfactory — gross violations that are an imminent threat to public health. An unsatisfactory establishment should be shut down either voluntarily or through a court order. "

Gee---I guess it was Triplets.

We went to Trio's (now closed) quite a long time ago and liked it. They served the same food as Sammy's but we were told that Trio's was better. Did you have gribinis? (SP)

There is also Jefferson's Café, 88 Maple Avenue, Montclair. 973-744-2106 I've been there for breakfast and dinner.

Someone recently told me about Sweetwater's or Freshwater's in Plainfield. Across from Larry's deli.

Was there once and it was ok. I prefer Bella Rosa in East Hanover and Corso 98 in Montclair.

Downtown Jersey City has a gorgeous view of NYC. C-side in the Harbor Financial Center can cater a wedding in the atrium there. The Hyatt is also there. NJ Bride magazine just came out with their fall/winter issue and has a section listing unusual locations such as museums, gardens, mansions etc. They also have a website at : CLICK HERENEW JERSEY BRIDE Congratulations and it's great to see you here.

Vila Nova Do-Sol-Mar 263 Ferry St Newark 973-344-8540

Meson Madrid--Palisades Park. Don't know if it is still there or not.

You can also eat at Rascal's.
