Ramen

I’m not sure where I got this photo, I thought it was from friends of mine who have been living in Okinawa, Japan (he’s a Marine), but now I’m not so sure.  But I love the image of all the bowls waiting to have hot broth poured into them, the slice of pork, shreds of … Continue reading →

Wine Dinner at Blue Point Grill

I love the wines of Alsace, so am all revved up about an upcoming wine dinner that CoolVines has arranged at Blue Point Grill, indubitably one of Princeton’s favorite restaurants.  This should be a match made in heaven, so if you are interested, make your reservation “PDQ,” as my mother used to say.  And guess … Continue reading →

Consistency Counts

I keep meaning to share this photo of a delicious entrée my friend had at Main Street European Bistro in the Princeton Shopping Center a few weeks ago.  It is roasted salmon on risotto, with spring pea puree, pea shoots, and pearl onions. It was fabulous, and at $20 a relative bargain. The dish was on their … Continue reading →

Meal With a View

Will Mooney, Chef/owner of The Brothers Moon in Hopewell, tells me that his newly refurbished patio looks out over “Main Street America.”  An apt description for downtown Hopewell!  You can’t see it in the lovely nighttime picture here (from their website, and what I saw when I enjoyed dinner there a few months ago), but the … Continue reading →

Still my favorite

I still like the airy cupcakes at Sugar+Sunshine best of the various ones I’ve tasted over the last year or so.  I brought these home (chocolate, lemon, mocha, strawberry) after a very pleasant visit to the Plainsboro Village Center Saturday evening.  My friend and I had a nice dinner (salad and pastas) in the little café inside A&G … Continue reading →

Lunch at One 53 (and a book signing)

I was delighted to learn that One 53 in Rocky Hill was opening for lunch a couple days a week (Thursday and Friday), so just gave it a try with a friend – what a pleasant time we had! I’ve had dinner there several times, and always thought the burgers looked really good, so I tried … Continue reading →

Happy Hour at a Mozzarella Bar?

Always an interesting new idea from Jim Weaver, owner of Tre Piani and Tre Bar out at Forrestal Village.  Here’s his latest: “Tre Bar at Tre Piani has launched a new addition to the menu. A new mozzarella bar is now being offered from 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday. The mozzarella bar menu consists of a … Continue reading →

Portuguese meets Brazilian

Big goings on at the Portuguese Fisherman in South River this month, where I dined memorably with my brother and sister-in-law a couple of years ago.  A top Brazilian chef, Eudes Assis, of Sue Sebastião Restaurante located in Maresias, a beach community on the north shore of São Paulo State, will be spending the month at the … Continue reading →
