On a very cold February morning after re-scheduling my visit three times due to three different snowstorms, I was finally able to make a visit to the Turning Point in Holmdel. This comfy restaurant fixed in the Commons at Holmdel is located next to the Barnes & Nobles and was a welcome respite from the still angry winter wind.

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, guys, and sure, you may not be Irish (though, are you sure? Around 11.9% of Americans are part Irish), but I’m betting you are American, and what’s the point of America at all if not to celebrate our dizzying variety of cultures? (And maybe to get tipsy doing it!)
