Let's Talk Food

I like reading blogs. Sometimes, I just like looking at pictures and reading random captions. I get very entertained by the meandering minds of people I don't know.


You might feel the same way as I do.


Occassionally, I run into some amazing blogs after going through a maze of random clicks. I found one today in this same manner.

Somehow, I came across a food blog called Eating in Translation, which covers over a thousand restaurants, cafes, lunch counters, food carts, grease trucks, fairs, festivals, grocers and green markets in NYC and the surrounding areas. Heck, when I say surrounding areas, I'm including Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City and Jersey City.

Say what?

Yes, I'm doing another blog on good ol' Jersey City. Eating in Translation includes a special section on Jersey City hotspots.

They cover personal favorites like: Phil-Am, Philippine Bread House, Nha Trang Place, Fiesta Grill, and Steven's Market Cho Saigon.

With this handy little guide, I'm planning to make some stops at places I've heard were great holes in the wall restaurants that offered excellent food and service, like Dosa Hut, Calle Luna, Kineret, and Ibby's Falafel.

However, up next in my own personal "eating in translation" experience is Sava Polish Deli in downtown Jersey City. It's known for having delicious and affordable homemade Polish dishes, including kielbasa, kraut, and my personal favorite, pierogies! Don't forget to to try the Hungarian gulash or the Ukranian borscht!!!



Apparently, this place is so good that fans of the restaurant are trying to help the owner, Jadwiga, get the word out about this family-owned business. With prices for everything from gas to wheat going up, I'm sure she could use all the help in keeping her business alive. Her website was entirely built by a Sava customer and many others hope to print up flyers to distribute to the local area.



Seriously, if you're craving some stick to your bones meat and potatoes, give me a call and let's head over to Sava's. Apparently, from time to time, they serve fresh cheese blintzes and cream cheese cookies!

hey dukes! awesome, i used to go to this lady's little hole in the wall when she was near the Court house down by my way. i found her one day while i was on break from jury duty. i really loved her food and tried to go back a couple times, but never caught her when she was open. (she was only open certain times) but im happy to know that she re-opened in grove. lets go get some pierogies!
