Harmony Lanes has been around forever. I moved to this area in 1995 and remember going there with my parents at a young age. They have a Chinese restaurant attached to it called China Palace. When I say attached, I mean the restaurant is part of the building. You can access the alley through there,…

Restaurant Review #11: Thai Tida (Lambertville, NJ)
I’ve spent a lot of time in the Delaware Valley this past year. I just love it there. Based on a few visits to this area, I must say, the food is excellent and covers such a wide range of nationalities and flavors. This visit, to Thai Tida in Lambertville, which is right across the river, had…
