This is officially my new favorite bar. Anywhere. Comfortable atmosphere that reminds me of Boston. Inexpensive but good beer. Friendly bartenders, friendlier patrons. If I were going to have a bar at which I was a regular, this would be it. Too bad I live almost 3 hours away from it.

Bonus: if you’re staying in a hotel along the boardwalk, you can take the Tram Car from a block away. No worries about how to get back if you’ve had a bit too much!

I live in Manville right now. I’ve been here almost a year. It’s not a very exciting town. We have a Wal-Mart, a McDonald’s, and a movie theater. There’s not much going on. The town is something like 70% (?) Polish, so most of the store windows are lettered in Polish. A lot of ‘skis and ‘skas around here. The traffic downtown is horrendous.

However, there is this place here called simply “European Deli” that has the bangin’est kielbasa ever tasted.

Oh, and Manville is home to one of the many entrances to the D&R Canal towpath, which is lovely and not to be missed. For that reason alone I’m marking Manville worth visiting.

Best. Chocolate. Malt. Shakes. Ever.

not to mention the delicious burger-joint-style french fries. you know, the kind that come in a paper bag and are extra greasy?

soooooo good. place has been in business for years, too. you can’t go to South Bound Brook in the spring or summer without checking it out. You won’t regret it.
