I have been to this place three times. The first two have been in the mornings on our way to the beach. Justin and I have both enjoyed their coffee and breakfast sandwiches—a toasted, buttered roll for me, in particular. It was actually after the second visit a few months ago that I wanted to…

It felt like summer last night, and what better beverage for that occasion is there than lemonade using a Mennonite recipe in a book we picked up in Lancaster? Then, of course, we had to use the glasses given to us by our friends at the Revere Tavern.

This is another one of those places I passed by many times over the years without ever giving it a try. After working a cold, windy morning on Sandy Hook earlier this week, I was starving. I met Justin for lunch after he got out of work, and wanting to try something new, we figured…

The Sitting Duck in Long Branch and Pour House in Tinton Falls are sister dining establishments. They boast similar if not identical menus. While I have not yet been to the latter, the first place mentioned has become one of my recent favorites. The deal was sealed this summer, when I ordered a soft shell…

Unfortunately, I was so busy with “ghost stuff” the last two days that I could not put up a Photo of the Day. This one here, as we begin November, is of the very haunted Spy House in Port Monmouth, New Jersey. I post this today because it marks the end of my favorite month…
