MY APOLOGIZES TO MARYC FOR STEALING ... errr .. DOING THIS !!

NJ is the HOME OF DINERS with over 600 of them. Most Diner cars seen all over our wonderful country were built in NJ.

With that said, what is your favorite DINER? Why? And what would you recommend? .. heck this may help future ICGT 


Ok, maybe not the BEST NJ Trivia to put on this board, but we do need to "learn to live normally" !!
Good Luck on your Journey !!

My favorite diner is the Heritage  Diner, in Hackensack, next to the Record newspaper building and the submarine, the USS Ling.  Why?  Because it's the one I grew up with, it's what I know,  and their 'early bird' dinner specials still make 2 meals for a post WLS person!  Such a deal!  The down side....  coffee is free refills, but they charge separately for each cuppa tea!  
    Yay to the ICGT group!   Mary

 Hi NJers!  I no longer live in NJ, but my favorite is still the Tic Toc on Rt 3 in Clifton.  I stop by there whenever I'm home in NJ.

We like going to Charles Ocean Grill on Friday night of Sunday afternoon.  It would be a great place for the ICGT because it is inexpensive and and great place, near the water. Check it out Tom maybe you can add it to your list of ICGT

That would be a great location for an IGT -- and one that I could actually make it to!

scotchwood on rt 22 in scotch plains. it's close, delightfully tacky, and has great food.

on the topic of diners though, i'm sad to see more and more of them (and i'm basing this statement on rt 22 diners) dropping the 24/7 business hours. where else are you supposed to go after the bars close? white castle? p****hink not.

I would love to know what you wrote .. so maybe if you did it

H

I

S


way I could see what you wrote. OT - I used to be on another board, and it was so "cautious" each time someone would write the word ****tail or assessment it would come out as "bad spam"tail or "bad spam"ment.

So we embraced it.

So can't wait to see your "P-***hink"
Good Luck on your Journey !!
