The highlight of the week occurred on Wednesday night with Connor's roommates and their families. The Silveri's selected
Cucharamama in Hoboken for our get together which offers a great selection of South American food. The Silveri 's called a week early to have the pig roasted for the group. The pig was so moist it was amazing and was really good but the appetizers such as the empanadas and the croquettes outshined even the pig.
As an aside, we can't wait to try Steve and Andrea's new restaurant in Long Valley named OMG Burger and Brew which opens this week. Sounds blogworthy to me!
Friday night we tried Portofino's in Morristown for the first time even though I pass by the restaurant every day going to work. We started with the Hot antipasto which was a great selection including shrimp, mushrooms, clams oreganato. Leslie's bowtie pasta with salmon was very good although my flounder was slightly overcooked so stick with the Italian dishes.
On Saturday, we tried the Corner Bistro in Randolph which was a pleasant surprise. The Burrata appetizer was good and I really like my duck. Leslie's salmon crusted with coconut was a first for either of us and was a really nice combo. The deserts looked phenomenal and the home made creme brule with Bailey's Bristol Creme was excellent.
The good news is that we found some good local places to go when we don't want to go far.
