Enjoy a Tasty Meal at Peruchos Peruvian Chicken
May 17, 2016 by
Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken is sweeping the culinary world, and you can get a taste of this traditional favorite at Peruchos Peruvian Chicken. At this Newark eatery, chicken spends a full 24 hours in a traditional Peruvian marinade, and if it's your first visit to this Newark restaurant, the owners recommend you try a quarter chicken a la brasa with aji spicy dipping sauce. Add a side of crispy, golden fries (or fried plantains, for a more traditional flavor combination) and you'll enjoy a hearty, satisfying hearty meal.
Chicken is the real star at Peruchos, but Yelp reviewers also recommend the restaurant's ribs, pulled pork, and made-to-order ceviche. Feed the whole family with the "matador" combination platter, which includes a whole chicken, a rack of ribs, as well as enough rice, beans, fries, and salad to satisfy a group. Regulars say the staff is friendly, efficient, and happy to explain anything on the menu, so Peruchos is a good choice even if you’re unfamiliar with Peruvian food.

Style a Catalog-Worthy Bed With These Pro Pointers
May 3, 2016 by
Styling your bed can be a little difficult. There are so many different color and pattern options for bedding, not to mention the wealth of options available for pillows and decorative accents! Follow the tips below to create a unique bed that fits your style.
- Follow guidelines on how to layer your pillows depending on the size of your bed. For example, a king bed should have three Euro pillows, then two king pillows, then two standard pillows, and a few accent pillows on top of that.
- Use a simple, neutral color for your comforter or duvet cover and add a splash of color with your pillowcases or accent pillows.
- Place a throw or blanket at the bottom of your bed. Make sure the texture or color matches the same as your pillows at the head of your bed.
- For a sophisticated look, be sure to make your bed tight with little to no wrinkles.
- Style up your bed with a traditional wooden, upholstered, metal, or neutral headboard.
- If headboards aren’t your style, hang a piece of art or a large mirror on the wall above your bed to create the illusion of a headboard.
