The "New" Jersey Life

Image
Turkish Food I've officially signed papers to temporarily moved to NJ. I'm taking a few months to figure out the next chapter in my life. I have a beautiful apartment with adorable roomies. In fact I think this is going to be a happy spot since I've lived in NYC. The toughest thing living here has been my roomie situation. I meet my "new" roomies last night to finalize the paperwork and do what Daisha does best...EAT and TRY something NEW.... :) We went to this new restaurant in North Bergan, NJ which is a few minutes from the new apartment. One of my roommate is Turkish. I was really nervous about eating there, but he said it was a lot of vegetarian dishes and some what like Mediterranean food. I started off by having him take the reins in ordering two appetizers and then my main dish was pretty much kabobs and veggies with flavorful chicken. We started with puff pastry which was ricotta cheese and then deep fried. It was a pretty delicious dish. We t

Jacob's Pickles Upper West Side- Amsterdam/85th I really enjoy this place. I can't believe I haven't written about this spot sooner. I wanted to wait 6 times before actually writing about it. Anyways, this restaurant just makes great food great. A warm tummy, tasty treats, and why not with a crowd or even a first date. I'm officially addicted to the chicken on anything, with honey, and/or the gravy. I had the "ham hock" collard greens which was cooked to perfection (not to salty).

They have some amazing selections to drink that really quench your thirst which are unique in varieties; stout beer" float with ice cream (YUMMY ($12.00). Rosemary is used

Jersey Weekend

Taqueria: 56 Grove Street/ Grand Street / Jersey City   (no photo because this dish was VERY greasy) If you are going to eat here tacos only! We walked in and sat outside in the back alley way. Adorable. It was decorated with a Mexican flare and other fun décor; the beach theme with surf boards and poster "like" metal signs. It was a fun experience. We were in perfect time for a $3.00 mimosa and $3.00 bloody Mary's. We both tried the mimosa, which was tasty for me. I started glancing through the menu and in fact I wanted breakfast, but they don't serve coffee. I was a little disoriented with a food spot NOT serving coffee. I should've ran out the back door. Just kidding.. I order Rancho Huevos, because I've been dying to try this, but it wasn't anything I would order. I've always seen friends and family order this and the eggs weren't runny, there was guacamole and its very much like a scramble, but this wasn't anything I was expecting. Th
