Something to please everyone's palate.

1. The Barrow House

1296 Van Houten Ave, Clifton, NJ 07013

http://www.thebarrowhouse.com/

This restaurant just had it's grand opening, and is already a huge hit. Try their local and delicious farm fare. If you’re of age, enjoy a wide variety of beer, wine, and cocktails. Maybe you’ll try this new spot before I do. (Don’t forget to make your reservation, you will need one!)

2. Veggie Heaven

631 Valley Rd, Montclair, NJ 07043

http://veggieheavenmontclair.com/index.html

Okay, so this restaurant is ridiculous. All of their dishes are vegetarian, cholesterol, and MSG free. Dine on Chinese vegetarian fare. The menu is huge; everyone will find something they like. I think this place may trick meat eaters...bring some takeout home and try it out! The dining room is relaxed and welcoming.

Personal favorites: Veggie Wonton Soup and Veggie Lo mein!

3. Barilari’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria

755 Van Houten Ave, Clifton, NJ 07013

http://barilarisrestaurant.weebly.com/

This is one of the best places in Clifton to get Italian cuisine. Barilari’s is a customer favorite, as regulars pile in every weekend. The dining room is small and cozy, perfect for families. The servers are personable and very accommodating. Every meal has been sensational. Call for their weekend specials, there is always a hidden gem. (Don’t forget to ask for a rewards card)

Customer favorites: Penne ala Vodka, Chicken Francese, Eggplant Florentino, Extra Thin Nonna Pizza, Grilled Chicken Barilari Wrap, and Fried Calamari.

4. Turtle + the Wolf

622 Valley Rd, Upper Montclair, NJ 07043

http://turtleandthewolf.com/

If you’re looking for a quirky and fine dining date night idea, Turtle + the Wolf is your spot. The menu will change based on the best available in season ingredients, so be sure to check the website before. They take reservations up to four weeks in advance so call early to claim your table. Everything is precisely made, with eccentric ingredients. Turtle + the Wolf is for the adventurous palate.

5. Sushi Lounge

235 US-46, Totowa, NJ 07512

http://www.sushilounge.com/welcome/

This restaurant has fresh and delicious sushi. The roll selection is extensive and creative. The rest of the menu includes bold Japanese fusion creations. A DJ booth sits in the middle of the dining area, filling up the room with good vibes. Hangout at the bar for a fun night out, or sit for a romantic meal with your boo.

Personal favorites: Asian Chicken Noodle Soup (can be made without chicken), Red Hot Roll, and Asian Guacamole (when they have it).

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
