We used to get a cannoli cake every Christmas from a bakery in north Jersey-it was to die for.
OssoBucco-comfort food! But out here they don't believe in veal. Have to wait til I get back east.
Oh, that would be one thing I would be very sad to leave NY for...Italian food! Bakeries, pastas, sauces... they just don't do Italian as well in other parts... lived down South for a bit... they try... but just can't compete..
Same here in the midwest. Pizza is Domino's,Papa John's or Papa Murphy's. Gravy is jarred and pasta on menus non-existent. Hard being a NYC/NJ girl to handle it.

I've never been to the northeast. Pasta is prevalent on menus in southern California and Texas, but I never think it's as good as what I can make at home, so I seldom order it. (I love pasta and make it at home often)
I am curious to taste your NJ restaurant pasta now!
