We've always loved American Fare in Maplewood, they are very accomodating and the food is a great mix of comfort type foods from just about everywhere

I wasn't aware that there was a spate of new BYOs that have recently opened. Could you name the new ones you are talking about, and for what part of Northern NJ?

rosie keeps up with this stuff here. looks like quite a few BYO places opening up over the last few months. perhaps openings are a sign the economy is turning around a bit. or maybe everyone is just quitting their day jobs and giving it a shot.

If you are referring to the "Table Hopping" I don't see any more openings lately than in the past. In Bergen County, there has been maybe one new BYO in the past year.

Could we please have the names of some of these new BYOs in Northern NJ?

[tommy]

we're not going to tell you.

Oh, yes-- but I guess my eyes are deteriorating-- the new blue format here does not show a strong color contrast when a link is shown, so I missed it.

I think you are referring to these over quite a span of time...

Baumgart's-- branch of Englewood & Ridgewood

Mo Pho Noodles-- discussed at length here

Saigon R-- Name change only

Stickey's BBQ-- A stretch to call this a "BYO"

Rocca-- has been discussed at length here

Lodos-- has gotten a mention here as well

This is over an 8-month period-- hardly a "spate" of BYOs opening, and definitely not a sign of a good economy; Food spending is actually down over last year.

I think that BYOs are a staple of the NJ restaurant scene because of the difficulty of obtaining a liquor license. I don't think there are many other areas that have so many as a rule. Therefore it is not hard to find them.

Some of my favorites are Origin French Thai in morristown. Also, Tratorria Toscana in Whippany, Cinque Figlie in Whippany, La Pasteria in Summit, Panang in East Hanover, Trattoria Fresco in West Caldwell. There are quite a few places in Montclair. These are not new places- just my personal favorites.

Cinque Figlie in Whippany is not BYO.
