Now In-Season
Get out your personal dine card and start making a list of where you want to eat this summer. We’re sharing our initial picks with you – and we’ll share lots more as the season meanders its way to leaf-peeping time.
Different Drumsticks
… and other dishes that beat out the usual prospects on a holiday weekend that kicks off the good ol’ summertime.
Atlantic Offshore Fishery
The wide-ranging menu at this Shore destination may seem unwieldy, but one unifying factor elevates it above its peers: quality seafood.
Fried & New 05-22-23
Some things fried and some things brand new steal the spotlight and top the charts of good eats for the two weeks just past.
Cacio e Pepe
Splendid as is or given the zing of something extra, this pasta-of-the-moment is ready to partner with the salads of spring.
Marty’s Crabs
Deep in the heart of Jersey Crab Country is this destination that locals know well and from-away folks keep on their radar when the season’s in full swing.
The Kim Wrap
At Wildflower Vegan Café in Millville, a proprietary sandwich hits on a rainbow of taste notes. It’s off-menu, and worth a query. Heck, it’s worth begging.
Pandan Room
Yes, there’s Thai at this long-established local hero in Warren County. But there also is a lineup of Indonesian classics to take you down eating roads less traveled.
Strawberries
Ripe strawberries need no help; grab and eat. If by some unfortunate circumstance you find yourself with less-than-ripe berries, there is a mix and a method that can help.
El Wadi Grill
Lovable Middle Eastern staples deserve top billing at a modest storefront where hospitality reigns. Shopping at nearby Duke Farmers’ Market on a Sunday? Check off your list there, then take a hop 5 minutes south and catch juicy kofta kebabs – and more.
Haddon Culinary and Dulce
Saturday morning in Collingswood, and where it’s happening from May till Thanksgiving is at the borough’s Disney World of a farmers’ market. Once you’ve secured a parking spot, filled your bags and baskets with market wares, and planned your meals for the week, no sense in leaving town without stopping for lunch and a sweetie pie of a snack.
