Quite a few. :)
Ever been to NJ? ( And not traveling the Turnpike.)
Best election-night party ever was Giuliani’s in 1993. The place was full of Hasidim, who were mightily p’d by Dinkins, and when the Florio loss news came across the TV (NJ has their governor election on the day we have the mayoral), the place filled with joyous shouts of “Goodbye, Flim-Flam! Goodbye!”
The Ironbound Section, an old Italian section that we people in north Newark called “down neck,” because it’s in a neck-like area between two rivers, has some of the best restaurants, Portuguese (like a lot of the people there now) and Spanish, at half the prices of NYC.
We went to a Spanish one last time I was there. We had gone to an outdoor concert. Both were wonderful. Previously, someone took me to a Portuguese place for tripe, which I had said I didn’t like and about which I soon changed my mind.
My home town, from ages 3 to 20.
No. Had a girlfriend from Vineland, so I know to tread lightly. Just razzin’ on ‘em. Wouldn’t mind seeing the Pine Barrens.
After I married and moved to NJ from Mass, my Mother couldn’t believe how nice it was when she came to visit me. Not a large state, but lots of different geographical sites. I even live in a town with gas lamps.
bet it smells fabulous in there
You can bet on it!
