NYC has the best drinking water of anywhere I have ever lived, hands down.
The water toward the NC coast is really awful. In the mountains where I used to live, they had good water until the reservoirs dried up. They are on wells now and it is really bad. My mom only drinks bottled water there.
You mean we can actually drink "tap" water again I haven't had a sip of "tap" water in years. Everyone in Ocean County NJ is afraid of the Tap water. It is said to be contaminated and causing very "weird" cancer especially in kids.

I agree, I personally wouldn't drink any tap water for 100 miles the other side of the Hudson river. I however, live on the good side of the river.
Think I will go get a glass of tap water.....yum!
I moved to Clayton, from New Jersey. I am used to a GOOD bakery, full of crumb cake, italian bread, everything. I have found 1 bakery by Route 40 (on Route 42) that was alright, but definitely not what Im used to. And they didnt cary Crumb cake or Linsar Tarts. Boxed Crumb cake just doesnt cut it! I want good bagels, cakes, ect. Im willing to drive a bit, any advice?
Sorry Radiojoe...this probably won't be much help for you since you are living in Clayton....but in Charlotte (Ballantyne area) and Matthews there is a place called Jersey Girl Bakery (yum) that some of you other east coast transplants might enjoy.
2nd day driving about, .For me, not having Dunkin on every other corner is a sign of how more relaxed it is here, so I do not see it as a loss anymore.
Boy are you in for a big surprise. Just give it some time. Been there and done that.

Thanks for the tip none the less. Hopefully, i'll remember that when I head out that way.

Well maybe you can plan a day-trip, traverse the Hudson and have a swig.
Gas and tolls? Cheaper to buy bottled. Gotta run, all this talk makes me thirsty.
I moved to NC. 18mo.s ago from RI . and I can not fine a good Italian bakery . I have too have MY MOM bring bread dough down so I can make hot fresh bread. I also am learning how to make my own here in NC. . I miss a good bakery with all the Italian flavor.
The ciabatta at Weaver St. Market in Carrboro is very good. I think their bakery is quite good in general but that ciabatta...
