When did Vale close?

Not soon enough!

Overheard at the Zabar’s prepared food counter in the 1970’s:

Woman (noticing a large bowl of cut fruit): “How much is the fruit salad?”

Counterman: “Three-ninety-eight a pound.”

Woman (incredulous, and loud): “THREE-NINETY EIGHT A POUND ????”

Counterman: “Who’s going to sit and cut fruit all day, lady… YOU?”

Not even in the same ballpark as Taste of Asia formerly in Montclair.

That's exactly the formerly somewhat local place I was referring to. Durn I loved that place.

Looks like they reopened in South Orange according to Rosie's listings. That doesn't help me much.

Thanks to all for your perspectives! I might try Satay sometime if I'm passing through Hoboken at the right time. It's got one advantage, it's near the train station, which is usually how I'm traveling to/from Hoboken.

Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea? How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea!

My favorite restaurant in Hoboken is La Isla, although the last thing it needs is any more business! But it's great food, and the owner, Omar, is a great guy with a great attitude.

There are yet more photos here:
