New Jersey? Talk about lookin’ up a hog’s butt for a ham sandwich.

Ever been to NJ? ( And not traveling the Turnpike.)
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.
