Remember the bar in Cheers, “where everybody knows your name”? Onieals feels like that. They don’t know my name yet— but after Saturday’s dinner, they’re gonna learn it! My friend Tim and I continued our Jersey Food Tour this weekend. And although we dearly love Karma’s curries or Grimaldi’s pizza,…

Is this place open? I went around to a side door, down a few steps, and entered the dimly lit restaurant. Inside: the best noodles in town. This is Bangkok City, a Thai restaurant in Hoboken, NJ. This homey spot has served up pad thai, drunken noodles, and more since…

When I have meetings in New York, I know where I’m going: Angelina Paris. Angelina has existed in France for over a century. It has only one sit-down location in the United States — and this is it. I plopped into a soft chair at a sleek marble table. A…

On the crisp linen tablecloth sat a thick, leatherbound menu. I cracked it open. This was going to be an incredible meal. This is Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in NYC. The light streamed through tall windows as we made our selections. Hmm…so many choices… Oooh, bread! I dug my…

We gazed on the glass case, transfixed by pepperoni and heaps of ricotta. Would this be the perfect counter slice? Fancy pizzerias are great. Wood fired ovens, shaved truffle, love all that. But sometimes, you need a Jersey classic. You need a counter slice. I’ve been going past Quality Pizza…

The aroma of cardamom and cloves wafted up at me. I rolled up a piece of bread, dipped it in, and tasted heaven. This is Karma Kafe in Hoboken, NJ. For 24 years, Karma has produced fragrant curries and spicy biryanis, and today they’re better than ever. I perused the…

A big ball of gooey mozzarella hit the table, drizzled with olive oil. “We’ve got to come to Jersey City more often.” This is Porta, an excellent pizzeria on Downtown Jersey City’s lively Newark Avenue. I strolled down the pretty, pedestrianized street and ducked into the restaurant, grateful for the…

I sat on the shore, watching the red sun descend into the ocean. This was truly a beautiful place. I just spent the last two weeks in Porto, Portugal, in the country’s north. This seaside town filled with beautiful architecture and great food is a must-visit! Let’s Eat! For me,…

Silence fell as the dim sum hit the table. All I could think was, “I need that dumpling.” This is Golden Unicorn, a dim sum restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Golden Unicorn has been serving up dim sum in an elegant, banquet setting since 1989. I dug into a delicate pork…

My coffee came out, alongside a chocolate covered almond and a cool glass of water. Was I back in Vienna? Actually, I was in New Jersey. But if you want to have an Old World coffee experience, this was the place to do it. This is Two Crepes in Union…
