The location of the Hubba, on Main St, used to be the Texas. It has the best hot dog (split & grilled on the flat top), served on a toasted bun with delicious, greasy chili. That chili has been around for many years. My grandfather worked there in the late '30's...I grew up in Port Chester, in the 60's...and the chili is still the same. Love it.

Try Aroma in Montclair. The spinach & chickpeas made me swoon.

Go for the Black Spaghetti. I had it with rock shrimp and I loved it....especially with the crispy salami. I've never had a bad or indifferent pasta at Babbo or Otto.
As for the gnocchi, the braised oxtail is yummy. I've never had the Lamb's brain...I tasted brains in cooking school and that was the first & last taste of brains for me!
