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.

Tuscany is noted for its stunning cuisine. BV Tuscany Ristorante does this region proud with its menu full of classic dishes encompassing all the goodness Italy has to offer. From seafood infused pasta dishes to exotic cuts of meat (think wild boar) BV Tuscany offers diners a truly unique experience. With such a fantastic menu it may be heard to choose. For starters calamari frittes aim to please, while the Portobello con risotto is drizzled with decadent white truffle oil. For pasta dishes spinach and ricotta dumplings are a twist on the traditional gnocchi, while the rigatoni alla vodka comes in delicious vodka cream sauce. Entrees include osso bucco Milanese, served with saffron risotto and lemon zest. Veal scallopini in white sauce is hard to pass up, as is the filet of sole sautéed in lemon and butter. There are also an array of vegetarian dishes for meat-free diners, and these items are just as tasty as their meatier counterparts.
