Tacoshop, Cape May Court House
This Cape May County staple recently relocated to a newer, bigger space in Cape May Court House. The concept of James Beard-nominated Lucas Manteca, everything here is made from scratch—including the slow-roasted brisket and birria-style pork. Beyond the tacos, check out the empanadas and street corn. The spot includes gluten-free and vegan options as well.

Gigi and Mario, Edgewater
This Italian-American pizzeria is serving up much more than just pizzas. Though their pies are the stars of the show, with toppings including cherrystone clams and Buffalo mozzarella, they offer plenty of other options as well. Appetizers include grilled artichokes and fresh burrata, while entrees include a New York strip, and broccoli rabe and sausage cavatelli. Those dining outside can enjoy a view of Manhattan’s uptown skyline.

Crumb, Haddonfield
Enjoy a meal—and feel good about what you’re eating—at Crumb. With a menu that changes daily, visitors will never run out of options. Crumb incorporates high-quality ingredients, from 24-month aged prosciutto to black truffle sauce. It offers up salads and sandwiches, all of which are served on their house-made bread. Make sure to try their droolworthy cinnamon buns, too. Crumb opens November 6.

Tiger Sugar, Little Ferry
This Taiwanese bubble drink chain has made waves in the United States. And now it’s coming to New Jersey. The brand gained popularity for its photo-worthy drinks, which incorporate caramelized brown sugar and fresh mousse cream. (The brown sugar creates a tiger-stripe appearance, giving the brand its name.) Plus, their syrups and tapiocas go through a tedious, eight-hour cooking method that you just need to taste to believe.

Green Way Market is not just another grocery store. The Market prides itself on giving customers the best possible experience, from an in-house coffee and burger bar to cold beers on draft. Green Way carries plenty of high-quality products, and its own Green Way brand offers inexpensive, organic products as well.

This popular Essex County deli continues to grow with its newest Montclair location. This marks the deli’s third storefront after opening a second spot in Morristown, in 2020.

Known for its quality meats served on freshly baked rolls, PrimoHoagies is now in the Rockaway area.
