Lou and I dined at Melange in Haddonfield for New Year's Eve. It was magnificent. Regular menu too! I hate holiday menus.

By the list of restaurants, though, I don't consider that area south Jersey. I always think down the shore when people say south Jersey. The area of this event is closer to Philly....

mm mm Melange....

That's how it was posted Vera. Sorry. I guess SW Jersey would be better, but e & w ain't that far apart.
I too think of the "shore" and oh, miss it but good! (Except for A.C. Didn't like that much, but haven't been there since there were only 3 casinos. late 70's. 80's)

If you're not a gambler, there isn't much reason to frequent Atlantic City. Most of the restaurants are celebrity houses who's doorsteps have rarely been darkened by said celebrity. There is a great sub shop, White House, in Atlantic City however....worth ever minute of a 4 hour, two way car ride!

From Philly we refer to this as "South Jersey"

Down the Shore is its own thing

surprised the list is so short there are so many restaurants in the area.

I work in the town next to Haddonfield... can't say any of the listed paces are on my lunch regular list though

See..now Lou is from South Philly, he's of the mind that anything from Ocean City and south is South Jersey.

I agree, too, the list was very short, but then, it's a Open Table List. Those are just the restaurants that subscribe to Open Table. Open Table, by the way, is a a great way to make dinner reservations on line. You don't have to wait for the restaurant to actually open (and some don't open till afternoon) to make your reservations. You can see if something is available or not, and make your decisions accordingly. It's easy to sign up, and after a while, you can even earn points that can be used for dinners.

Boston Restaurant weeks have become so popular that they now have them twice a year, and have expanded the current event to two weeks (this is the second week).

It's really wonderful to be able to go to a restaurant that I would otherwise not be able to (WANT to) afford.

I think there are over 200 restaurants participating this time. http://www.restaurantweekboston.com/

I was looking at the "Taste of the Nation" announcement for this weekend in Boston QSis, but didn't post, as costs were $135.00 + $145.00 to attended. Wow! To rich for my blood!
And I didn't find anything else.
But glad you did. I think they would be fun in a city environment, and know of a few around Christmas up north.

Thanks for posting, and keep us informed if you see others, K?

i grew up in the northern corner of joisey, just a town or two away from the ny state border, so, south jersey is anywhere south of newark airport. :smile:

when i was a kid, it was anywhere south of route 4, lol.

Don't know where you are, bt, but I used to skinny dip in Upper Greenwood Lake with my crowd, back in the day. But those are very, very faint memories.:blush:
That, I considered up north. Anything south of Homdel was south, but it was always coastal.
