Looking for really good Chicago style deep dish pizza in Jersey

Hi,
We are having a very un-fulfilled craving for some deep dish pizza, and Pizzeria Uno is not doing it for us...does anyone have a place to recommend?

Anyone remember Tiffany's wine and cheese cafe in Commack Corners?

Looking for a place like this, laid back atmosphere with good wine and cheese pairings and live entertainment, on LI, NYC or NJ...thanks very much for your feedback.

Wine & Cheese cafes in Central NJ?

When we were teenagers on Long Island in the 70s and 80s, we frequented the wine and cheese cafes for dates, dinners etc. There were usually plenty of board games to play, and more often than not, live entertainment in the form of acoustic guitars, singers, etc. My husband is a great musician and had many gigs over the years at these venues.

Now we live in central NJ, and cannot find places like this to go to. We are wondering if such places still exist? Willing to drive to other areas to have the experience, and do some performing!

Good food and live Blues music/Central NJ ??

Can anyone recommend a great place for live music (nothing raucous) and good eats in Central NJ? The Pine Tavern in Matawan/Old Bridge has excellent food but has stopped the live entertainment, a true shame. So a bunch of us are searching for a replacement...Middlesex County and 20 miles around...thanks!

Need martini/cocktail help please?

Hosting a cocktail type party tomorrow even though I stink at the drink making...I want to have the right ingredients on hand...what type of olives do I buy for martini's?

Country/rustic French for lunch or dinner

Some years back I had heard of a smallish country French restaurant in NYC, I saw a picture and it seemed like a lot of wood/stone, possibly a fireplace. I cannot remember the name or where in the city it was, but the ambiance looked wonderful. Does this strike a chord with anyone? Price not an issue. Thanks!
