act local, eat local: support Black-owned NJ restaurants

June 7, 2020 foodwithaview Leave a Comment

rainbow of coffee | support black-owned restaurants in NJ and NYC | foodwithaview.com

I attended my first Black Lives Matter protest yesterday with my family and friends. Really, my first protest of any kind. I care deeply about a lot of things, but until now, attending a protest would not be my first form of activism. One of many things that are changing, hopefully for the better, hopefully forever. All change starts with small steps. This post is one of these steps -- for myself, for my family, and I hope, for some of you. … [Read more...]

mediterranean memories at EVOO + Lemon

Greek mezze platter with pita breads | EVOO + Lemon restaurant review | foodwithaview.com

We have always enjoyed Mediterranean food.  The food and wine adventure of summer 2018 catapulted our appreciation for the simple yet sublime flavors of Greek cuisine to new heights.  Characterized by so many of my favorite things, Greek cuisine features grassy olive oil, bright and citrusy lemon, fresh and flavorful herbs. Northern New Jersey is home to a number of restaurants serving authentic Greek cuisine alongside Greek-influenced dishes that feature the culinary delights of the entire Mediterranean. … [Read more...]

Hard to believe, but it has been over two years since I posted one of my most-used restaurant lists and the inspiration behind food with a view. I rounded up my favorites and featured 100 Steps, which later grabbed top honor as my favorite restaurant.  Date nights are on my mind lately, as we celebrated 23 years of dining out together on April 12. Our shared love of a good meal is high on the list of reasons for the longevity of this particular love story! So what to do with all those anniversaries and milestones?  Update the list, of course! … [Read more...]

celebrate spring with brunch: my favorites in northern new jersey

Eating brunch and reading the paper | Best brunch restaurants in northern NJ | foodwithaview.com

Loyal foodwithaview.com readers know, brunch is my favorite meal. Whether dining out to celebrate Mothers' Day or a friend's birthday, dining in on a lazy Sunday, or hosting a party, brunch hits the mark. It pleases everyone with a mix of sweet and savory flavors. This luxurious weekend meal encourages champagne consumption, mixed with fruit or straight up. In my view, there is no better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than brunch. Choose an outdoor spot and bask in the sun that has finally arrived. Updated for 2018, my list of favorite places for brunch in northern New Jersey (now with outdoor spots!). … [Read more...]
