This morning the Montclair Farmer's Market kicked off it's 20th season at the Walnut Street train station parking lot! All the usual market suspects were there: Jim Matarazzo of Matarazzo Farms, Taqueria Autentica, Vacchiano Farms, Romarsi Pesto, Naturally Smoked, Shore Catch and more!
Take a look at John Lee's slideshow!
Kings Food Market in Livingston hosted a grand reopening this past Wednesday to unveil the newly renovated upscale store. The renovations came as part of a company-wide brand and website re-launch.
When I arrived, guests were invited to tour the market. I made a beeline for the seafood department, where I was wow’d by the selection (check out the soft shell crabs), and enjoyed one of the delightfully chunky, house made crab cakes.

If you caught My Grandmother’s Ravioli this winter on Cooking Channel, you know that Mo Rocca never had the opportunity to learn the secrets to his grandmother’s famous ravioli. In fact, he can’t really cook at all.

7. Brookdale Park
This Olmstead designed county park straddles the Montclair-Bloomfield border and is host to concerts, fireworks and great art festivals. Park benches located throughout the park offer great vistas or places of quiet repose. The park is large so there is sure to be a place that’s just right.
