Pierogis as a bar food? Yes. Its time – long overdue – has come. Now if only this newcomer in Atlantic County would do seasonal ricotta-stuffed pierogis with local blueberry sauce …
Escarole & Friends
Bigger than a frisbee, bigger than a dartboard, almost as big as a hula hoop. OK, not as big as a Ferris wheel. But the queen of the chicories grown at Arena Farms is ready to rumble with all manner of mates.
Blairstown Farmers’ Market
Here ye, here ye! Open for the season is a market in northwestern New Jersey where food-shopping for the week is a breeze.
Nauti Cajun Crab
A Dungeness stir-fry bests the rest at a specialist that too often drifts when focus on details is crucial.
City Green
A nonprofit based in Clifton is devoted to urban farming, ag education and growing its network of resources in ways that support equitable access to healthy foods and ecologically sustainable communities. Along the way, it’s also become a vital hub for young farmers.

Abby and Jesse Sickler’s life on their farm in Stow Creek is all about their cattle, their hogs and their chickens, and raising them in a mindful way that honors their nature. (The couple’s toddlers have their say, too.) P.S. Check back tomorrow for more on Hidden Creek in Sunday Kitchen.
Publick House
There’s good reason why Nick DeRosa’s gastropub is beloved by both citizens of the dine-out world and pro chefs taking a break from their own stoves. A menu that looks simple and possibly de rigueur translates to plates elevated by accents and powered by technique.
