  1. I forgot to mention Rudy's in Closter. I love the food there.
  2. I'm really a grease pit guy but I like nice restaurants as well. Some favorites are Bruschetta in Fairfield and Radicchio in Ridgewood (although they seem to have fallen off) I love Hanami in Westwood for Chinese, not a huge fan of Golden Dynasty. Chengdu 46 is good but not worth the price. For Mexican, Mexicali Rose in Montclair, although they charge for chips and salsa. Baja and El Bandido also. Oh, and Fiesta CAncun on 303. I love it there. You can sit outside. I also like the Sidewalk Cafe in Piermont for Tex-Mex for the same reason. And, the mango margueritas. Pasta Cucina in Rockland is good for relatively inexpensive Italian with a fair wine list. Sutter's Mill across the street has good burgers, but Arthur's is still the best. Iron horse makes a decent burger too. God, when you're writing about this, one thing leads to another. Today, I went to the beach. PPB first. Martell's for steamed shrimp with old bay in a bucket. Very good. I usually get the cajun shrimp there which I adore, but the bucket of steamed shrimp were new to the menu and just as delicious. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the corn on the cob as well. Chippy's Fries, across the way. Then we were down to Seaside for 2 Midway cheesesteaks. There is a special place in my heart for those suckers. Then to Kohr's for Rasberry Vanilla swirl. By the way, has anyone seen the Sawmill lately. They are in the middle of a complete renovation. Looks great so far. Well, that's it for now. Now you know a little bit about me.
  3. the menbu sounds identical to the one in Hillsdale, most def the same owners. They also own a small grocery store in Hillsdale a block up the street. This used to be the taqueria, but they grew out of it. It's funny that the place the moved in to in Hillsdale is also a converted "diner" with only counter seating. Food is very good if you are a big fan of cilantro. The aged beef seemed a bit to salty for me. Rumor is that Cafe Capri pwill also become a Mexican resaurant as well. I don't know if this will be the same owners, but it is supposed to be a bit more upscale. Blue Moon is prob not very happy, but I think their food is pretty generic anyway, although they do use quality ingredients. Drinks are very good at Blue Moon, though. As I mentioned on here before, a hole in the wall in Garfield serves delicious tacos and Burrito. His a different from Cinco in that he grills onions with the meat for his tacos and douces it with his "special sauce" (won't release recipe.) The sauces is def a little salty but I can't really tell what it is. He serves them with salsa(a fresh chopped pico de gallo, big chunks) marinated onions(lime juice, oil, cilantro, and more secrets) and a home made hot sauce with a thick consistency. It's pink, I couldn't tell you what's in it. He also serves a Papa Carne, I think that's what he calls it. He says its a tradtional Mexican dish. Baked Potato, cilantro, sour cream, and carne asada. It's a shame because the guy who runs this really knows food but he is stuck in a bad location and I'm not sure it will survive. Please support if you are in the area, because I want this place to be there for a long time. I'm really hooked on his food. Marley's Munchies, Lanza Ave. Sorry I don't have the address, but it is on the north side toards Midland ave.
