Thanks for the tour. It's been years since I've been to Morristown. I always liked the town, but even on a good day without traffic (which never happens on 287) it's a solid hour. However, those cannoli spudnuts are tempting. Maybe next time I'm visiting my daughter in Hillsborough we'll take a ride up there.
As for my favorite cheesecake, right now I would have to say it's the ricotta cheesecake at Elisa's Bakery on Route 70 on the Lakewood/Brick border. It's buried in a strip center with a Home Depot, a great wine store called Wine Academy (which has a huge selection of Kosher wines for Passover), and one of my favorite stores, Bingo. Bingo is a giant warehouse style Kosher supermarket. They have everything, great prices, huge selection of everything, and now that I'm vaccinated and boosted, I don't mind going back to Lakewood......but I still wear my mask indoors. BTW, Elisa's is not Kosher, and all of their Italian pastries are delicious. They also have a few high top tables, so you can order an espresso or capuccino and enjoy a pastry while debating how many to take to go.
Thank you so much Alan for my Sunday morning wake and bake. I’ve been gone from NJ physically for over 5 years, yet my heart and my mind lives on there. The things I miss most are the lifelong friends and the food, however there is absolutely nothing that compares to the smell of an old school bakery. Thanks for the memories, as I drift back in time and now yearn for some fantastic baked goods….. Peace out my friend, until next Sunday!!!!
Great post Alan. I’m looking forward to visiting historic Morristown. I hope you will be my tour guide!
