Legendary Circus Drive-In in Wall May Be Closed For Good

If this is true...fuck this.

 

I lived five minutes from there and never went.

 

Where in North Jersey? Are we talking about Mahwah (last northern town in NJ before NY) or are we talking about Newark?

 

Yeah, where exactly?

 

Giovannis in secaucus for the best sandwich you'll ever have.

 

You clearly haven't been to Cafe Airlie in Newark yet.

 

I have not (no longer live in nj) but it looks pretty legit. Doesnt look like the mozz touches gios though ;)

 

Well, they're not an Italian deli but it's still up there. Their bread and warm chicken cutlet are on another level. It's one of those sandwiches where you're full after half but you can't stop eating it haha

 

yeah the chicken sandwich i saw instantly made me want lunch lol

 

If you want a sandwhich go to Rutz Hut in Clifton.

Great Hot Dogs.

 

ohhhhhhhhhh ruttz hutt is the best

 

White Manna Burgers in Hackensack.

Also yeah that dude from Cymbals loves The Wrens and they're from Secaucus, but the other NJ references in Cymbal songs are like 2 hours south, closer to Philly like Belmar and Manalapan so I'm not sure if you can cover all that

 

White Manna also in Jersey City.

 

Hot Grill > Rutts any day of the week!

 

yeah white manna in JC is better imo. The danger makes it tastier

 

True that. I grew up in Hackensack so I'm partial to that one.

 

Jimmy Buff's is also an interesting take on the fried hot dog.

 

Tops Diner in East Newark.

I'm also gonna throw in my own personal favorite Thai spot, Topaz in Belleville.

For Pho, I recommend Binh Duong in Bloomfield.

Mitsuwa at Edgewater is also a treat.

 

Is Jimmy Buff's still around? I haven't seen one in 10 years.

 

I really like brooklyn pizza near manna in hackensack

 

Also a couple good diners are Coach House in Jersey City and Tick Tock in Clifton.

Benny Tudinos in Hoboken for pizza. Big slices too.

I second Mitsuwa. Fort Lee and Edgewater have really good ramen spots.

 

Oh yeah!

 

Sushi: Arigato in North Haledon. It's a little bit of a hike but it's $20 for unlimited sushi!

Steakhouse: Roots Steakhouse in Ridgewood. Phenomenal steak and you get what you pay for.

BBQ: The Wood Pit in Montclair. Reminds me of that BBQ place from House of Cards but it's real southern BBQ.

 

I've never been to the Coach House and I worked in Jersey City for a few years. The outside looked like dump and people nicknamed it the "Roach House" for obvious reasons.

 

Glad to see some familiar North Jersey name dropping. I'm from Bergen County. Seems like I always see people referencing South Jersey stuff in here
