On a recent Friday night, we met 6 of our friends for a family style meal at Hong Kong Fusion in Cherry Hill. We thought it would be a fun place for a group outing-if you order a little of this and a little of that, you can work your way through different parts of [...]
The Riversharks took their first win of the 2011 season on Tuesday night in a victory over the Long Island Ducks. Two home runs by the home team weren’t the only big plays at the home opener as Kuzina Express hit one out of the park in the concession’s debut. While a smaller ballpark, Campbell’s Field [...]
I always enjoy participating in celebratory milestones, such as birthdays and anniversaries. I recently had the opportunity to celebrate a restaurant opening anniversary at Seasons 52 in Cherry Hill. Seasons 52 features seasonal cuisine and a great wine list. All dishes are 450 calories or less, and some are gluten-free. At the second anniversary party [...]
Unless you’re a patron of the minor league teams, if you want to enjoy a nice day out at the ball game you will have to leave New Jersey. I take every trip over to Philly to route for my beloved team as an opportunity to show Jersey pride with our impeccable choice in cookout [...]
While I always enjoy having a romantic Valentine’s Day with my sweetie (who always plys me with roses and chocolate covered pretzels), I’ve often thought that the holiday should be a time of exhibiting kindness to others. While some people have had unfortunate brushes with brusque service at restaurants, others have been happily surprised by [...]
I have become quite the fan of daily deal sites such as Groupon. Daily deal sites post gift certificates for restaurants, massages, and other fun things at a deeply discounted price. If enough people buy the deal of the day, everyone gets the deal at that price. The deals change daily-I have purchased a couple [...]
Walking into the A Taste of Olive from Kings Highway is like entering the shared home of a Tuscan cook, with its warm wood paneling and floors, and the vat room of a master microbrewer, with stainless steel drums lining the walls. The drums, fusti if you want to get technical, each hold a different [...]
My great grandmother, Botchi, an amazing hostess and cook, taught my mother her kitchen secrets (except how to taste dishes without eating them, try and figure out that one) who in turn passed the traditions down to me. One of my favorite traditions is our New Year’s Day meal of pierogie, kielbasa, and sauerkraut to [...]
What could be better than a liquor store with thousands of types of wines, hundreds of craft beers, a huge selection of cheeses and a walk in humidor of cigars? Wineworks is a new wine store that opened up this past year in Marlton, NJ. They call it a wine store but it has plenty [...]
My son Michael used to work at the Seasons 52 Restaurant in Cherry Hill, which is adjacent to the Cherry Hill Mall. He enjoyed his stint there and always talked about the nice people, warm atmosphere and great food. After visiting there with friends, I agree with him on all three counts. The restaurant focuses [...]
