Somerville Cover AnnouncementsBest Pizza of Somerville New Jersey
Somerville is known for its restaurants, plain and simple. People come here from all over New Jersey to indulge in some of the best and most unique restaurants in the state. Even so, like any other town in New Jersey, we have pizza. A lot of pizza. In this gastronomic adventure, I’m going to be taking a pizza tour to discover the most delectable slices in Somerville. At each I’ll be trying a random plain slice, if available, and a specialty pie. This article required exhaustive research and eating a whole lot of pizza, so let it be known I’m committed to the task of eating as much pizza as possible.

Somerville Cover AnnouncementsConversations | Summertime is Officially Here | Whats your story?
There's a few certain words that I always enjoyed hearing and summer is one of them. Summer has such a feeling about it, the vacation, the longer days, the better body, the top down, the windows open, the sweet child of mine. The first day of summer (today) is what the solstice is, or "mid summer" is. I recall a mid summers nights dream and and reminds me of childhood memories (#2), Now and then (#3), I remember how long summer seemed, how free, how optimistic, how awesome and seemingly only concerned with what 100 degrees outside could possibly feel like.
