Minamoto Kitchoan: Sweet Treats in Edgewater

June 19, 2013 by

A counterpart to their shop in Rockefeller Center, Minamoto Kitchoan in Edgewater is a purveyor of Wagashi: delicately flavored sweets from Japan. Much like sushi, they’re small and artfully presented, thoughtfully prepared and come in a pleasing array of shapes, tastes and sizes. Tsuya is sweet red bean paste spread between two mini pancakes. Oribenishiki is a little cookie dumpling filled with chestnut and red bean paste. Hakutou Shigure features white peach paste wrapped around a sweet bean paste filling. A seasonal treat offered in springtime is Sakuranbo, a beautiful red cherry encased in clear sweet jelly. These little delights aren’t cheap at $3 to $4 apiece, but they’re worth it for their delicate flavors and lovely presentation.

Boardwalk Burgers: From Maryland to New Jersey

June 12, 2013 by

Bright, cheerful colors, and lots of open space make for a beach-like ambiance in Boardwalk Burgers, a burger & fries joint that migrated from its origins in Ocean City, Maryland to Hackensack, New Jersey. The menu is simple, featuring burgers, french fries, chicken sandwiches, and hot dogs. The famous ‘boardwalk fries’ are hand cut, deep-fried in peanut oil and lightly seasoned, making them a far cry from the frozen factory fries you find in most burger places. Burgers are made to order, with plenty of toppings to choose from to spice it up just the way you like it. Order a creamy shake and an order of funnel cake fries and you’re good to go. Boardwalk Burgers is open every day for lunch and dinner.

Bischoff’s: Old Fashioned Ice Cream

June 4, 2013 by

In the ice cream business since 1934, Bischoff’s has become a Teaneck tradition. Here ice cream is done just bit differently. The flavors are fuller, the texture more pleasing, than similar chain shops. Bischoff’s brings diners 40 homemade flavors, including pumpkin fudge, butter crunch, and coffee cookie crush. The old-fashioned atmosphere is really part of the charm of the place. You can picture some old school TV family sidling up to the counter to order egg creams and sundaes. In addition to the homemade ice cream Bischoff’s also serves homemade chocolates and candy, in keeping with the tradition of a proper old time ice cream shop. For an extra special treat try the brownie sundae.
