Need recs near The Meadowlands!

[JohnL]

Football season is coming (pre season is here)!

As a long time Jets season ticket holder (please no funny comments--

being a lapsed Catholic I have a need to "suffer" on Sundays)

I and my friend often dine in the area of Giant's Stadium/Meadowlands whenever there is

a late game on Sunday's or Monday nights.

Our current favorite is Mignon in Rutherford.

Also like to BYOB.

Are there any recommendations?:

qualifications are-- open Sunday and/or Monday Nights and within

five to ten miles of the stadium--prefer something on the way back to Manhattan--that is near either bridge or tunnel .

A few miles west of the stadium is ok too.

thanks!!!

It's been a few years, but after an event at the Meadowlands I always liked Park and Orchard in East Rutherford.

If you like Italian, try Sorrento's.

The location and phone #:

132 Park Ave., Rutherford (201) 507-0043

I've had consistantly tasty food here, and they are a 5-10 minute ride from the stadium.

Trust me--just go to Hoboken, park in the big lot between 14th and 15th at Washington, and go to The Jefferson.

I would really recommend Segovia's Restaurant 150 Moonachie Road, Moonachie as they have the best steaks and Spanish food in the area.

Both Park and Orchard and Segovia are good suggestions. But beware, on Sundays Segovia gets pretty crowded after a football game at the Meadowlands.

If you want Portuguese food without the hassle of driving to and parking in Ironbound just follow Ridge Rd south out of Rutherford. When it crosses Rte 3 go another 5 - 7 block. Just past the intersection of New York Avenue across formt he cemetery is Terro's Snack bar (it's realluya full service restaurant - there's a weird legal snafu related to parking that required them to call it a snack bar). Food is moderately priced, typical huge portions that you find in Portuguese joints and quality is pretty good. It is not BYOB - they have a full bar.

The other place you could try (on Sundays--they're closed Mondays) is Indian Chef in Lodi...it's right up Rt 17 and you could just keep going to Rt 4 and take the GWB back to NYC if you don't want to backtrack the few miles to Rt. 3.

The Franklin Steakhouse in Nutley has one of the best burgers in northern jersey and OK steaks. very lively. not byob.

China 46 on route 46 on the way back to the bridge. byob.

Taos is nearby on Paterson Ave in East Rutherford, Cafe Capri and the Fiesta Hut on Park. Then there are the others: Village Gourmet, Tina Louise, Martini Grill, Steve & Andreas, Cafe Matisse (BYO) all within a coupla miles to the stadium.

I should add that Park and Orchard is not BYOB, but does have a superior beer menu.

At Franklin Steakhouse, you'd also be able to see every other football game being played on the abundant TV screens.
