Mmmm... food....

Roger and I didn't exactly do a lot of "fine dining" while he was living in the New Brunswick area. When we find a good place, we tend to remain loyal. A few of our favorite places are:

Noa-Noa Mexican Restaurant

114 French Street, downtown New Brunswick

Roger and I were generally the only non-Spanish speakers in the joint. I take that as a good sign!  We love to watch the fresh tortillas get rolled out of the press and then eat a big basket with three different types of salsa. 

Pad Thai

217 Raritan Ave, Highland Park

No, that is not the name of my favorite dish, it is the name of our favorite Thai restaurant. You have to cross the Raritan River into Highland Park to get there, but it is worth it. Funny thing, apparently the family who owns this restaurant also owns another in Metuchen. We stumbled upon it when looking for a place to chow down after meeting with our rabbi one evening. The decor looked awfully familiar and we were quite pleased to find the exact same menu!

Pithari Taverna (Greek)

28 Woodbridge Ave, Highland Park

Although we only ate here once, it was so tasty that I would go back again in a minute. There is a great outdoor dining area. I loved the fried cheese! 

Harvest Moon Brewery

392 George Street, New Brunswick

Good beer...right down the street from the Hyatt...What more can I say?
