or simply "Jerseyite" [2]Inhabited by Native Americans for more than 2,800 years, the first European settlements in the area were established by the Swedes and Dutch in the early 1600s.[6] The English later seized control of the region, naming it the Province of New Jersey, which was granted to Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton as a colony. The name was taken from the largest of the English Channel Islands, Jersey. New Jersey was an important site during the American Revolutionary War; several decisive battles were fought there. The winter quarters of the revolutionary army were established twice by George Washington in Morristown, which was called the military capital of revolution. Later, people who worked in factories in cities such as Paterson and Trenton helped to drive the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century. New Jersey's position at the center of the Northeast Corridor, between Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., fueled its rapid growth through the suburban boom of the 1950s and beyond. New Jersey is bordered on the north and northeast by New York; on the east by the Atlantic Ocean; on the south and southwest by Delaware across Delaware Bay; and on the west by Pennsylvania across the Delaware River. New Jersey can be thought of as five regions, based on natural geography and population. Northeastern New Jersey, the Gateway Region, lies within the New York metropolitan area, and some residents commute to the city to work. Northwestern New Jersey, or the "Skylands", is, compared to the northeast, more wooded, rural, and mountainous, but still a popular place to live. The "Shore" along the Atlantic Coast in the southeast has its own residence and lifestyle characteristics owing to the ocean. The southwest is within Metropolitan Philadelphia, and is included in the Delaware Valley. The fifth region is the Pine Barrens in the interior of the southern part and is covered rather extensively by mixed pine and oak forest, and as such has a much lower population density than much of the rest of the state.

1. Blackbird Dining Establishment
November 21, 2008
Chef Alex Capasso’s Blackbird takes wing on nuanced flavors, playful presentation, and attentive service. Would you like shaved black truffles on your entrée? Just say the word.
Standing in the brightly lit, bi-level dining room of his restaurant, Alex Capasso looks like a rock roadie who got lost on his way to the concert. A pharaoh-like beard juts from his chin. The rolled-up sleeves of his pressed white jacket reveal a heavily tattooed forearm.
Capasso knows his tasty licks. Not the musical kind, but the literal kind. After turns at Brasserie Perrier in Philadelphia, Max’s in Cinn... (read more)

November 21, 2008
Breaking bread at community tables can make friends of strangers in the night.
On a rainy night in Asbury Park, five patrons are sipping drinks at one of Salt Water Beach Café’s two ten-seat community tables. It is their first time at the café, but they are long-table regulars. “We always sit at the community tables at Bonefish Grill,” says Dolores Chirafesi of Linden, who is with her husband, Charlie. “We love to meet people when we go out, and these tables allow for conversation.”
Stone House at Stirling Ridge, in Warren, features a ten-seat table near the bar. “Guests start talkin... (read more)

4. For about ten years, New Jersey dentist, Dr. Markus has known a great secret about migraine pain.
November 21, 2008
For about ten years, New Jersey dentist, Dr. Markus has known a great secret about migraine pain. Many patients who suffer from headaches, especially pain that awakens them in the morning can get a tremendous relief both in terms of frequency and intensity by wearing a properly made NTI device.
Worn over the front teeth, this simple appliance does not allow back teeth to meet, and therefore it is impossible to clench your teeth together. Traditional horseshoe shaped night guards only prevent the teeth from wearing one another down, they do not prevent clenching. While there are applica... (read more)

7. Dune Restaurant in New Jersey
November 19, 2008
Dining at the Shore brings a certain anticipation: nautical décor, open-air tiki bar, large platters of standard seafood and steaks delivered by no-nonsense waiters.
Dune, on the other hand, throws you a change-up. From the moment you enter the small, unassuming restaurant showered by the neon lights of its neighbor, the Margate Dairy Bar, you sense this will be different, beginning with the warm greeting from owner Nick Weinstein and the sign over the dining room entrance, “Be nice or leave.” By the time you do skidoo, you have dined on superior preparations of fish and meat, and perhap...

8. Sage Restaurant in New Jersey
November 19, 2008
Last summer marked a homecoming for Lisa Savage. A graduate of the Mays Landing Academy of Culinary Arts, Savage also trained in Torino, Italy, built her reputation at Brittany Café in Atlantic City in the 90s and later at Savaradio, a sardine tin of a BYO in Ventnor.
In 2005, Savage transplanted Savaradio to a cavernous offshore space in Linwood. “It didn’t work out,” says Savage, “for a variety of reasons.” A big one was that the food didn’t taste as good as it had when you sat in a plastic chair on the sidewalk in the glow of the Wawa sign across the street. After decompressing for a y... (read more)

9. Farming the Front Yard
November 18, 2008
Banishing the mower promised to reduce our carbon footprint and put fresh food on the table. But what would the neighbors think?
It was a normal vegetable garden in every respect but one—it was in front of the house. A front-yard garden is, by definition, in your face. (In your neighbors’ faces, in particular.) Sunflowers towering, tomato plants climbing, cabbages blooming, beans and basil proliferating like weeds. All growing naked for anyone to see—and, as my sister worried, for dogs to tear through. (Thankfully, they never did.)
Actually, ours was unusual in another respect as wel... (read more)

November 17, 2008
A $3-million renovation rejuvenates an inn with Revolutionary roots. Chef John Livera’s food—from serious steak to fanciful donuts—might even make Montville a dining destination.
Montville?” a friend asked when I told him where I would be eating. “They have restaurants there?” The town, ideal for suburban living, has never been a dining destination. But in July of 2007, owner Randy Frankel completed a $3 million rebuild of the Montville Inn, just off I-287. There may have been restaurants in Montville before, but now there’s one worth talking about.

16. Manna
November 14, 2008
The handiwork of chef John Merlino and the hospitality of his wife, Victoria, give southern Shore diners much to be thankful for.
Manna, the heaven-sent food that sustained the Israelites in the desert, was not exactly a gourmet treat. In fact, the people complained bitterly to Moses about the monotony of eating it and told him they thought they were better off in Egypt. (Nobody says he had an easy job.) Now we have a Manna that’s an easy sell, offering a lot more than mere sustenance—organic Lancaster County chicken, paella, blood-orange sorbet. Though it’s not in the desert, it’s close ...

Not only does it capture the imaginative, witty, slightly wacky spirit of the restaurant, but darn if the stuff doesn’t taste good.
