Conucopia in Keyport. I haven't gotten up there in a while. How has the food been lately? I miss going up there. I also like stopping at the Anchor Inn I guess its technically in Union Beach when I'm up there.

Any restaurant that serves Indian cuisine is among my favorites. There are several in Morris County and they all have a lunch buffet that is a delightful experience.

"Arthur's Landing in Weehawken was tremendous for the views and the food - Italian again, I think."

Love this place also.

one of my favorite subjects:

petridis hotdogs in bayonne (with a yoo-hoo please)

howard's in beach haven terrace

gaetano's in willingboro for cheesesteak and subs (oops, hoegies if you're from that area)

silver spring farm in flanders (awesome filet - rivals the ruth chris' of the country)

bageleddies in ship bottom for the.worlds.best.bagels. (with rein's deli in vernon ct a very close 2nd)

Seranade in Chatham - $500 for 4 of us - but great for a special occasion.

and...for a gastronomical-once-in-a-lifetime-event - The Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station. Probably my all-time best meal, but at nearly $250/head , it's not your everyday "lets go out to eat!" place.

I believe this diner was featured in the HBO movie "Hysterical Blindness" (great diner, horrible movie )
- Gena Rowlands was a waitress there......

[quote=mike0421;556018] Gaettanos in various southern NJ locations for cheesesteaks. Long Valley Brew pub is yet another good one.

i agree with and mentioned gaetano's too - i believe they are consistantly voted best cheesesteaks - over any philly place. LV Brew Pub is ok, my last meal there was so-so, which disappoints me, since I live here. However, I hear the beer is really very good (I don't like beer).
