Merle’s is about one thing – ribs. They not only have great pork ribs, but an amazing dish of beef ribs as well. The beef ribs are my personal favorite, and are really huge in size – I’ve never been able to finish a serving, always taking home a doggie bag. Drinks are served in huge jars, so you’ll never need a refill, and the side dishes available are terrific. They also give you flatbread w/a great horseradish dipping sauce to start off with. So the food is great, although sometimes the service can be subpar depending on who your waiter is that night.

Bookends is mostly a generic little bookstore. In terms of the books they sell, they have some current bestsellers, and then a lot of their merchandise is pretty old, especially when it comes to particular categories like computer books. However, there is something very special about this bookstore. At least once a month on Sundays, the store will have a very well known celebrity come for a book signing. The books they’re signing are almost always new releases, and the lines for autographs are usually pretty long. In the store itself, next to their normal books, you’ll find signed copies. Aside from that, this store is nothing special.

Books Bytes & Beyond is a terrific book store for the family. It’s not your generic bookstore such as Barnes & Noble, but is rather a bookstore aimed at a much younger audience. As its name suggests, there is a lot more than books sold at Books Bytes & Beyond, as they sell many toys and gadgets devoted to children. They also have had a few celebrity book-signings in the past. While you won’t find a great selection of current bestsellers, you’ll find a place a kid will enjoy shopping.

Herold’s Farm has been a staple of Glen Rock, NJ for many years. It’s split up into two halves, a garden center, and a small food area, where they sell fresh fruits and vegetables as well as baked goods. The garden center has a wide variety of products depending on the season, and all the stuff is reasonably priced. You can always find plants for your garden, though, as they have a greenhouse inside. Fresh plants and vegetables are also grown on the premises depending on the season. Simply a great place to buy some garden equipment or plants, as well as a great place to pick up some freshly grown fruits and veggies.

Fox’s has been around for a longtime in Ridgewood, NJ. Similar to Loehman’s, they have a good selection of closeout designer women’s merchandise. The store is very well laid out, and is pleasant to shop in. Better bargains can be found towards the back of the store, however, most of the merchandise is reasonably priced for the designers they carry. It’s also a nice store in terms of not having the size of a big department store – much more quaint and pleasant to shop.

Bergen News plus is a bit more than your average convenience store. Aside from a wide selection of food and drink, they also have a great greeting card section, something not usually found in your run of the mill convenience store, which is great if you need a card at the last minute. And as its name suggests, they also sell a wide variety of newspapers.

Mountain Creek is one of the largest waterparks in the country. Just the sheer size of the park is breathtaking. All of the attractions are carved out of a beautiful mountainside, which allows not only for great tube and body slides, but an amazing cliff jump, unmatched anywhere else. Of course it has your generic attractions as well, such as the lazy river, and a gigantic wave pool. In the winter it turns into a ski resort, which is extremely fun as well. Great family fun all year round, the only drawback being that the park is mainly geared more towards teens and adults than adolescents.

Mandarin House is a complete dining experience. While its appearances may fool you on the outside, inside it’s truly an elegant place to eat. The ambiance is perfect, and to complement it, you are served herbal tea when you sit down, free of charge. Aside from looks, the food is just superb. As opposed to many Chinese food places, there is a smaller selection to choose from, as they are not trying to recreate every Asian dish known to man. They make authentic Chinese food extremely well. None of the food is over-sauced like in most other places and everything is tasty. Prices are great, especially when comparing the quality of the dining experience to other Asian restaurants in the area. I only wish they delivered – food has to be picked up, or dine-in.

General Plumbing Supply has one of the largest selections of plumbing merchandise – toilets, sinks, faucets… in the area. Their sales people are extremely caring and upfront with you. Their pricing is terrific, and they are even willing to match prices that are found on the internet, as they do a lot of business. The best part about GPS is that since their selection is so wide, they are not limited to one brand of goods, say American Standard or Kohler. Almost anything is available for purchase at an extremely competitive price.

Old Ebbitt’s Grill is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. First off, the food is simply to die for. Everything my party and I had when we went was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. My personal preference is the New York Strip steak, although the menu varies depending on what’s in season. The wait staff is extremely personable and attentive. The ambiance is another thing that makes this place so wonderful. The room is lit just perfectly, and there’s enough room between tables so that it seems like a social place, but enough privacy is maintained for each group of people. Truly an amazing dining experience. It’s no wonder I go back there every time I visit DC.
