i've been meaning to, rosie.  what's the parking situation around there?  i lived in hoboken for close to 15 years and could never figure out why out-of-towners were so reluctant to drive in because of the parking hassle (you tend to know where to find a spot when you're living in town, but drive around like an idiot when don't know where to go).  now that i'm an out-of-towner, i dread it.

To make matters worse, the town has now designated one side of almost every street as Resident Parking only--and they're serious about it. So there are only half the # of spots available to "out-of-towners" now. And you're restricted to 4 hours when you can find the legal spots.

Dammit, man...why do you torture me?!? On my drive home tonight I was thinking about my friends who live 1/2 a block from there. YEESH.

There's always tomorrow, though... :wink:

it's tuesday.  where should i go for dinner?  seems like a red wine and reddish meat sort of day.

Of course, I immediately thought of Relish in Sparkill, one of my favorites. One of their entrees now is "Red Wine Braised Lamb Shank". Sounds like it fits your bill to a "T"!!

Second choice would be Citrus Grille on Saddle River Road, just over the border in NY State. Here's their menu:

3rd choice would be to wait until Wednesday...

can one eat at the bar at Fortunato in lyndhurst he asked?

Tommy! I went to this place (sort of reminded me of the Soprano's inside though ::evil grin::) but the food was quite good. The Brick House 179 Godwin Ave, Wyckoff, NJ 07481 but some folks love it some hate it. I'm pretty picky and I liked it the night we went and they have a very generous bar so that should make your day! Phone: 201-848-1211 for your usage.

Again though may I suggest Black Forest 249 Us Highway 206 - (973) 347-3344 we loved their food (hubby had game dish and I had duck!)

Or 76 House Restaurant, (845) 359-5476, 110 Main St, Tappan, NY 10983

(All 3 have bars/wine etc) I hope this helps you on your next "Tuesday pick" and if anyone else reads this and agrees with me feel free to let Tommy know - we need Tommy to only get the best food! :biggrin:

tommy, it's almost 70 degrees and sunny here - NOT red meat and red wine comfort food - yet. what country are you in?

we got home and i made pasta with pesto, salad and chicken saltimbucco. a white with this dinner.

since i'm off most tuedays "where should i eat" is almost always answered with "at home" let me know if you and mrs. tommy are game to venture into the hinterlands for a home cooked meal on a tuesday night - and i'll actuallly have an unfiltered newton chard and cook around it - just give me till after the hawkwatch season

:rolleyes:

hmmmmmmmm maybe i should plan a holiday cocktail party then dinner out this way....

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

Give him a break, Lou. It was 9:22pm on a Tuesday; he shouldn't have been typing at that hour! :wink:
