Juliana’s Kitchen: Authentic Peruvian Cuisine

When you arrive at Juliana's Kitchen you'll realize this Latin American restaurant feels more like a home than a commercial space, and as you step inside you'll see that there are only four or five tables. In other words, dining at Juliana's is an intimate, special experience that mimics being an honored guest in someone's home. Your food will likely be cooked by Juliana herself, and she may even come out of the kitchen to greet and chat with you. Her husband, Edwin, will be happy to explain any of the dishes you're unfamiliar with, and to make suggestions based on your tastes.

Yelp reviewers say the bistec apanado with rice and beans is tender and well seasoned, and seafood lovers recommend the spicy, citrusy ceviche mixto, which combines octopus, fish, mussels, and shrimp. Best of all, portions are generous and prices are reasonable.

Popular Shopping Sites for Stylish Apartment Decor

There’s no denying that modern furniture is having a major comeback, but the expensive price tags that often accompany those shell chairs or teak credenzas are often too much for the average shopper. If you want to furnish your home with mid-century modern-inspired furniture for an affordable cost, these three websites can help.

CB2
CB2, a smaller division of the pricey furniture store Crate & Barrel, carries equally high quality furniture and decor pieces with more modern styles and lower price points. Here you’ll find the low, rectangular sofas that modern furniture enthusiasts love, as well as other sleek furniture pieces, industrial-style lamps, and rugs, bedding, and textiles with geometric prints and patterns.

Design Within Reach
Design Within Reach carries all of the beloved modern furniture classics that you can’t find anywhere else, without the exclusivity of many private sellers. From Eames chairs to Herman Miller sofas, these are pieces that normally require extensive waitlists or knowing someone “in the business” in order to acquire them. This furniture selection is the real deal.

BluDot
If you prefer a minimalistic style with modern flair, BluDot is the place to shop online. These sofas, accent chairs, beds, and dining sets are all inspired by mid-century classics, but they’re readily available and much more affordable, even to budget shoppers.

Happy Holidays!

We wish you and your loved ones all a very happy and safe holiday season.

Have an Interest in Home Renovation? These HGTV Shows Are for You!

If you have an interest in home restoration—while watching other people do all the work!—you’ll love HGTV’s hours of programming dedicated to home renovations. Here are two of the network’s most popular home makeover shows.

Beachfront Bargain Hunt
While beachfront properties can be very expensive, the budget-savvy homebuyers on Beachfront Bargain Hunt get the most bang for their buck by purchasing fixer-uppers and, well, fixing them up. Watch as dingy old beach huts are transformed into glamorous getaways right along the shore, and you’ll find yourself dreaming of the ocean yourself.

House Hunters
To someone who loves home design, there are few things more fascinating than getting a sneak peak at someone during their home buying process. HGTV’s House Hunters is the network’s cornerstone program—and for good reason. The show follows a very vast variety of different types of people as they search for condos, single-family homes, apartments, and even old firehouses turned into industrial city lofts in just about every city across the country.

Happy Thanksgiving

We hope everyone has a wonderful day surrounded by family and friends! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Home Grown Cafe: Globally Inspired Local Favorites

Home Grown Cafe is a local favorite for many Newark residents. This casual eatery serves up a wide array of dishes with diverse global influences. Try the sweet potato bisque for a chili-infused take on Southern sweet potato pie, or dig into the wild mushroom, spinach, and feta empanada with tzatziki sauce for some innovative fusion fare.

The Korean-cuisine-inspired bi bim bap rice bowl includes roasted zucchini, carrots, and spinach, and is topped with a fried egg and spicy Gochujang sauce. Diners praise all of these offerings, but Home Grown Cafe's sandwich menu just might be the crowd favorite. The grilled cheese sandwich is an elevated version of your childhood classic, mixing cheddar, jack, parmesan, provolone and feta with a pesto spread. The falafel sandwich, on the other hand, combines crisp chickpea fritters with tomato-cucumber salad, sprouts and tahini.
