don’t miss harold’s. there’s one in edison and one
in parsippany. i think it’s a state law that
you must drive through parsippany to go anywhere
in north jersey.

Arlington – it has lots of character, that’s for sure – and the seafood prices can’t be beat. If you’re interested, my review is here – about 1/2 way down the page…Enjoy! (and it’s good to be back!)

YES! I second this place. Some of the best Buffalo Wings too, at least in my many dining experiences there. I used to live a mile from that place. I sure do miss it.

Rutt’s Hutt in Clifton–great cheap food, featured nationally and they live up to the hype.

Kinchley’s in Mahwah for north Jersey’s best pizza and perhaps the best in the state.

Elise: Lambertville does indeed have some neat places to eat and drink, but the place has also become Yuppie Central in the past 20 years. We like to get a sandwich and a beer in the bar at the place in the old railroad station and we’ve had good breakfast at some place on the main drag, sorry, I forget the name.

Flemington has a main street, which we just discovered last Winter thanks to a fellow Roadfooder, with several interesting places. We had a nice lunch at Shakers restaurant last January and the old hotel looks interesting, besides several other places we look forward to visiting

Cheers, John .

…ooh, and the Shadfest is coming up!

Hi girl,

I grew up near Flemington (Raeville, NJ), halfway between Philly and NYC. Dad did business with Finkles (electric) in Lambertville in the late 60’s. Small world.

Just had to say "hi", LOL

You must have some great roadfood places to visit. I hope to get back, maybe June/July or so.

I grew up in Englewood, NJ………….Hirum’s in Ft. Lee is a must for the best of NJ’s hot dog offerings. "Give me two well with fries and a Yahoo please! Don’t like Rutt’s mustard/relish condiment. But, the dog is great. It you do Rutt’s Hut you have to get an order of onion rings. Leave room for dessert further down the road at the Tick Toc Diner…Terrific! Great pizza in Hackensack….Brooklyn Pizza. Very good burgers (surprise inside) at The Iron Horse in Westwood. Great steak sandwiches at Emerson Hotel in Emerson or at Tracy’s 9 Mile House in Little Ferry. Sadly, all the good Chinese places are gone from Bergen County IMHO…Take the subway in and go to NY Noodletown in Chinatown!

I wanted to try Tick Tock diner on my last trip from NY to Pa, but missed the exit and wound up having breakfast at a Waffle House in Pennsylvania…
