The Cheese Bar

My visit to the new restaurant — The Cheese Bar — in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. A small modern space with a menu celebrating everything cheese. From cheese boards and mac n’ cheese bites, to Italian dishes and unique grilled cheese. BYOB to this minimalist and modern space serving fresh, delicious food.

2019 Hudson Valley Garlic Festival

The 2019 Hudson Valley Garlic Festival was my first visit to Saugerties, New York. This beautiful fall festival features miles of garlic vendors, farmers, creative foodie entrepreneurs, craft vendors, and live music. This week’s blog shares the amazing vendors I visited, the food I tried, and overall the amazing, sunny Saturday we spent surrounded by garlic (my favorite!)

2019 Brook Hollow Winery Clambake

The 2019 Brook Hollow Winery Clam Bake happened on August 3rd — a warm summer day perfect for being outdoors. This was my first visit to Brook Hollow Winery in Columbus, New Jersey. I was excited for our several course meal, bottles of wine to try, and time spent with family and friends. Read about the Clam Bake on the blog, and plan to buy your tickets this time next year!
