Burger with a fried egg and bucket of fries | south and pine restaurant | photo by matt messina | nj outdoor dining on foodwithaview.com

Outdoor dining in northern New Jersey and even New York City itself is, to put it bluntly, a challenge. Urban space limitations and neutral-on-a-good-day air quality combine for less than ideal conditions to dine al fresco.   … [Read more...]

philadelphia freedom: eating our way through the city of brotherly love

Handmade Ricotta in a Green Bowl on a Wooden Board | Dandelion Pub | Philadelphia Restaurants on foodwithaview.com

We recently found ourselves in Philadelphia for a long weekend.  Even better, we had no real plans.  Kind of unusual for us -- busy lives combined with a general love of a good plan.  We were childless and carefree for three. whole. days, and while Philadelphia is hardly an exotic getaway, it had two key characteristics:  proximity to grandparents and good food. … [Read more...]

country pate and cheese board at Satis Bistro in Jersey City

Satis Bistro opened in 2010, adding a much-needed foodie destination to the waterfront scene in the Paulus Hook neighborhood of Jersey City. I cannot recall what originally drew us to this charming place. Maybe it was the description of the food as a modern, twisted European fusion of our favorite cuisines and dining experiences -- Italian trattorias, French bistros, Spanish tapas bars, and Portuguese sidewalk cafes. … [Read more...]

fresh street tacos ready to serve in restaurant

Update: As of February 2019, Abril Cocina has closed its doors, reducing the count of wonderful restaurants in the area by one.  Residents and fans are sad to see it go, as we are left wondering, once again, how best to fill that tiny, cozy space. I can only hope for food. … [Read more...]

Ever thought about a farm share?  Fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to your door, new recipes and preparation techniques based on seasonal produce, the family gathered around the table sharing a meal full of color and vitamins… nice fantasy.  But I have kids.  And a full time job.  And a general love of restaurants. … [Read more...]

for the love of beer – Trap Rock restaurant and brewery

Glass of stout and homemade potato chips | Trap Rock Restaurant and Brewery | review on foodwithaview.com

Beer.  Apparently I have missed out on this particular joy for the majority of my adult life.  Which is too bad, because it turns out, it pairs perfectly with some of my favorite flavors in food.  And more importantly, it’s yet another thing husband Gary and I can enjoy together, because it also turns out he’s a big craft beer fan. … [Read more...]
