T&Thai Restaurant - Cliffside Park

-
T&Thai Restaurant, Fort Lee, NJ
Ah, Thai food; a cuisine so ubiquitous to the New York metropolitan area, yet so hard to get right. Any restaurant can cook up a Pad-Thai, Tom-Yum soup or Drunken Noodles. The question is - can they do it correctly? If you are looking for down-home, grandma style Thai food, then look no further than T&Thai Restaurant in Cliffside Park, NJ.

 The location has undergone an incredible transformation in the past 2 years: they closed, changed ownership, renovated and came back better than ever. The first thing you will notice is the warm and welcoming service as the waitress consistently seats patrons with a smile.

 The next thing to note is the extensive menu of traditional Thai classics, including changing and thoughtfully selected specials. My orders have included spring rolls, Pad-Thai, mango sticky rice for dessert and mango juice to wash it all down - each as delicious as the last. These dishes are outstanding, but the star items on the menu are under their curries. I promise you will not find a better Thai Curry in the tri-state area. The Massaman is sweet and spicy with multiple layers of flavor - I can't suggest it highly enough. The Hawaiian Pineapple is unique to the restaurant and bursting with fruity and coconut accents. The Red, Green and Panang curries are also incredible, it just depends what flavor profile you are in the mood for! T&Thai truly stands out as an under the radar culinary gem in the NY/NJ area.

Five Alive: The Greatest and Rarest of Juice Drinks

-
Image
Growing up, one of my favorite things to drink was orange juice. Honestly, I may have had a bit of a problem as I would often choose OJ over water 90% of the time. Probably lucky to still be alive. After solidifying what could charitably be called an addiction to citrus flavors, I rarely drank anything that didn't feature the sweet-and-sour flavor I had come to love. Then one day, I found what many (mainly myself) have come to call the king of all citrus drinks, the rare and ever sought after - Five Alive . Like a fruit-drink ghost, it has appeared in my life a number of times and vanished as quickly as it came. Bodegas, small grocery stores, the one off chain while on vacation - it has been spotted in a number of places but, the moments are fleeting. For those not in the know, Five Alive is a blend of 5 citrus juices created by Minute Maid under the Coca-Cola corporation. It combines orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime and tangerine into one of the best god-damn

The Corner and It’s Delights - Bergenfield, NJ (Now Closed)

  I popped into the The Corner on a hot, muggy August day seeking cold refreshment and the  delicious juice I was handed absolutely delivered. They serve a bevy of beverages with flavors including mango, passionfruit, guava, strawberry, Lulo and blackberry.  I tried both the Lulo (tropical and sweet/sour) and strawberry. Both were fresh and and quickly helped me beat the heat that summer day. The Corner and it's Delights also offers an array of Columbian and American food options like empanadas, burgers, and salads - so stop in and try it out if you're in the neighborhood!

Sophie's Cuban Cuisine - NYC (Various Locations)

Hell's Kitchen has no shortage of places to find a quick lunch, the trick is finding one with good food that breaks the typical mold of catering to the hot-table zombies. Luckily, Sophie's Cuban is here to break the monotony of the everyday routine with time-tested, delicious Cuban classics. The Grub: Sophie's is a great grab-and-go eatery obviously specializing in Cuban cuisine. Their offerings include some of the well-known classics like roast pork, fried chicken cutlets, baked chicken, and pork-chops with onions which are also their most popular dishes. I would also suggest giving their spicy grilled chicken and shredded beef stew a try, though quite honestly - you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. When you order, you are asked to pick an entree and 3 sides - which, in and of themselves could make a meal for most. Again, no wrong choices with the side dishes, but I would suggest some Moro rice, black beans (unless you are gluten-free like
