Casual Eating In and Around Harding Township
October 6th, 2009
Thinking of living in Harding Township? You have probably asked about the ease and accessibility of NYC transportation, the low taxes, and the country lifestyle. You may have even asked where the closest grocery store is for that bottle of milk. However, one important question remains: Where can I get a really good, quick bite to eat for lunch or dinner? Are there places I can pick up take-out that isn’t pizza or fried food?
Full disclosure: I like food with taste and creativity and I am not a restaurant critic, just a resident.
Let’s start with lunch, but keep in mind that dinner is also available at the restaurants mentioned below.
Dukes Café and Grill and the Wild Goose Market just opened in the heart of New Vernon next to the Post Office on Village Road. This is not a new enterprise having recently been relocated from Basking Ridge. The menu is great for people who want to grab a quick bite between appointments, school pickup, as well as anyone who wants a convenient place to eat on lunch hour. There are lots of salads, several burgers, paninis, and of course, pizza!
Just down the road on Rte. 202 is the Olde Mill Inn and Grain House Restaurant. There are three areas in which to enjoy your food: the main dining room, the bar, and weather permitting, outside on the patio. The menu is filled with interesting sandwiches, entrees, and salads.
Tsuki is a Japanese restaurant that prides itself on culinary invention and great taste. Zagat rates it a 22! Don’t miss the specials by the door when you come in! Tsuki takes reservations, but be sure to ask for a booth if you want one. Tsuki is located a few minutes away in Bernardsville, across from the railroad tracks.
I will talk about dinner opportunities, including takeout, next week. You can find me at mjbenedetto@turpinrealtors.com.
