My Birthday Week at The Best New Jersey Restaurants

Living along the Midtown Direct Train Line has its benefits: Great food within a ten minute drive in any direction! 

I like to cook–sort of. We are fortunate to be able to sit down together as a family four/five nights a week.  Sometimes I make dinner. Sometimes my husband does. He is a much better chef…just ask him 🙂
Last week, however, was special…it was my birthday!!! So I went out a lot with friends and family…a seven day celebration at my favorite restaurants having my favorite dishes.
Sunday dinner was Steak Salad with Frizzled Onions at The Landmark in Livingston.
Monday was lunch at Samurai Sushi in Millburn…Samarai Salad, just the right amount of spicy.
Tuesday lunch was at Basilico in Millburn of Crabmeat and Grapefruit Salad.
Wednesday lunch was the Swordfish Special at Restaurant MC in Millburn. Marc Cooperman, the owner, kept the champagne flowing…thanks Marc!
Wednesday Birthday Dinner in Summit at La Focaccia with Rack of Lamb done to perfection.
I thought dinner at Antonella’s in South Orange ended the food fest with Grilled Bronzini and Ratatouille on Friday evening.
But, Saturday was a Surprise Party…now that’s what I call a Terrific Birthday Week!!!
