What would a summer in New York or New Jersey be without at least one visit to Ralph’s? This here was Strawberry Margarita and Root Beer.

What do you do when you’re a group of four and cannot decide what to get for dessert? Order the sampler at Nonna’s!
Restaurant Review: Barnacle Bill’s (Rumson, NJ)
It is always a good start when your Mai Tai comes in a pint glass. When space is not being taken up by half an orange and there is no freakin’ umbrella. You can tell a lot about a restaurant by how they treat their cocktails. Are they giving you what is right, or trying…

Restaurant Review: Cafe Paris (Metuchen, NJ)
Will and I walked into Cafe Paris right after dinner at Hailey’s Harp and Pub, which is across the road and a little farther down Main Street in Metuchen. The place was empty since it was near closing time. Only one table taken inside. It was a couple, sitting next to each other, having dinner….
