Sahara Restaurant

165 Easton Avenue
New Brunswick, NJ 08901

I went here with some friends for lunch a long time ago (I was only slightly pregnant!). One of the girls raved about this place and their salads. I had a hard time selecting something from the menu but eventually tried something....I don't mind trying new things at all, and my friends said that what I picked was typically good....I don't remember what it was but suspect it was Baba Ghanoush. My lunch was ok, but nothing to really write home about. Dunno, maybe Turkish food isn't my thing, maybe I just need to try something else.. but I probably won't be doing it at Sahara.

Food aside, their decor is delightful, with outdoor seating available (if you don't mind the lovely Easton Ave as your view).

BAJ asked that we try a new deli place today for lunch, so to the internet I went. I found this place and, based on the reviews on yahoo local, decided it would be the place to go. We had a bit of a hard time finding them, not expecting them to be in a strip mall, but the internet age allows us to have the internet on our cell phones so we just called them up. They're on the Somerville Circle, right next to Barnes and Noble!

My husband had a "Cold Cut Sloppy Joe," and proclaimed the bread to be delicious. I ordered an Italian sub and it was good, although not outstanding. My husband has also been on a quest for good German potato salad and proclaimed the search has come to an end! We also had an order of pasta salad, which was good and had an interesting flavor that we couldn't place.

Big Wally's

3322 Washington Rd, Parlin, NJ 08859

We were out driving one day and stumbled upon Big Wally's. We took our sandwiches to JFK Park and had a great time. They were so good, we now make the 30-45 minute drive down because it's definitely worth it. They have great specials, which is always a plus for me since I like to try new things, but they also have great typical hoagie sandwiches. Their subs are big and soo delish.

Joe's Meat Market

28 Main St, South Bound Brook, NJ 08880

Joe's is great... their specials are delicious, their meats are fresh, and their bread is outstanding. Better yet, I signed up for their email list and eventually won a free lunch!! I really like the Jorge's Chicken Melt, which is a special, but their regular subs are fantastic too!
