Dining Out for Mother's Day? Make It Special

Here are a few picks for places to take Mom this weekend in Collingswood and Haddonfield.

For most people, food is a hallmark of any holiday. The act of gathering together around the table to share a meal makes special occasions all the more festive. In my family, we celebrate Easter with ham and babka. Christmas dinner always kicks off with our Italian escarole soup and ends with Pop-pop’s homemade apple pie. For my birthday, my mother makes my favorite simple comfort food: chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes and sweet corn. These little traditions provide a sense of ceremony and celebration in the most delicious way. As a new mom, I’m looking forward to starting a new tradition this Mother’s Day...and of course, it will involve food. While most holidays require a considerable amount of cooking, most often by the matriarch, …

4 of the Best Chefs in America, Right in Collingswood

What do the heads of El Sitio, Blackbird, Sapori and Nunzio's Ristorante Rustico think about being named to Best Chefs America?

Forget "Best Of" contests, magazine reviews, and anonymous online ratings: if you want to know who the best chefs around are, ask other chefs. That's the argument that Best Chefs America used to catalogue its ratings of the top chefs in the country. The "Who's Who" style of the book used to be reserved for social movers and shakers, high-achieving students and everyone else willing to pony up for a listing in a handsome, leatherbound book. But that's not the case here. The only way to be one of the 4,650 chefs profiled in BCA is to rack up peer recommendations in the 5,150 interviews of other chefs conducted by the publishers. The good news for locavores: 196 of the culinary masters on that list operate restaurants in New Jersey. Twelve …

Free Play Kicks Off Duck Duck Goose Grand Opening

The children's play place launched its inaugural afternoon with a few free hours of play, and many Collingswood parents took advantage.

Collingswood's newest play place, Duck Duck Goose, kicked off its grand opening in the borough with several hours of free play last Friday evening. The children's playroom focuses on "sit-down" play that offers a low(er)-stress atmosphere for parents, said owners Katherine and Ato Swann. The pair opened the business in Merchantville as a way to earn a living while keeping tabs on their two daughters, and never looked back. Parents of infants, toddlers, and other young children bopped around the brightly colored room, dipping into boxes of toys and helping themselves to handfuls of snacks. For a sense of what the early hours of opening day held, check out the video above.

'Collings at the LumberYard' Turning Heads, Winning Hearts

A high-end, luxury demo unit, a thorough vetting of the property and some token financial support of community events has bought the Ingerman Group a positive response from many stakeholders. An open house will be held at the property on Saturday.

As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. So maybe when life—or rather, the banks that run it—gives you a mostly finished building project that's also a credit-ruining political albatross, you make The Collings at The Lumberyard. That's what developers at the Ingerman Group did, at least. And despite the bitterness that lies at the root of their recipe, many seem to like the taste of the results so far. 'We're not just building something and walking away' The town home at 588 North Atlantic Avenue doubles as the current leasing office for The Collings at the LumberYard.  Its 1640-square-foot presence spills out over a two-story loft design. A second-floor master suite and nook-ish lounge overlook a combined living/…

National Picnic to Set up at The Factory in May

Collingswood resident Betsy Cook said the Fern Avenue commercial space will serve as her product development, meeting and special event space.

It all started when Betsy Cook was looking for a "pop-up shop"—a short-term storefront lease—in downtown Collingswood so she could hold a trunk sale for her National Picnic clothing line. But calls to landlords and real estate agencies didn't turn up anything that was the right fit. "People were willing to rent but either at a very high price or immediately, which wouldn't give me time to promote," Cook said. "The planets kind of have to align." When word got out that Cook was looking, however, borough zoning and code enforcement official Mary Ellen Ries suggested The Factory to her after a recent meeting of the Zoning Board. "I had heard of it, but I thought it was only a space for woodworking and metal shop," Cook said. "I had no idea …

Little Louie's BBQ Selling Off Restaurant Gear Saturday

The restaurant will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to noon on April 13, and the list of equipment available is extensive.

Amid the goodbyes at Little Louie's BBQ is another hard reality of its closing: a vast sell-off of the kitchen equipment, furniture and decorative amenities that comprised the guts of the restaurant. The property will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, and there's a laundry list of items that may appeal to restaurateurs both professional and amateur.  Former Collingswood resident Abe Karetny, a consultant who is helping the owners of the business broker the sale, described the emotions that come with such an event. "Blood sweat and tears on both ends," Karetny said. "It takes a lot of work, organization; obviously a lot of money." Particularly difficult for the owners, he said, is parting company with equipment that in…

K Bella Boutique Brings Sustainable Gifts to Haddon Ave.

A pair of South Jersey business partners has brought 'ethical retail' selections to downtown Collingswood.

Collingswood is known throughout South Jersey as a restaurant-first town, so when a new retail business opens in the borough, it's something to celebrate. K Bella boutique, which opened on Haddon Avenue in mid-February, also retails ethically sourced gifts and apparel, an approach that fits right in with the sustainability-focused community. The shop is the brainchild of Gloucester Township resident Karen DiBlasi and West Deptford's Katie Duffield—the K's in "K Bella." The two partnered up to offer a selection of vintage jewelry, apparel, accessories, candles and gifts for a collection that strives to be both "unique and affordable," said DiBlasi. "We carry a lot of fair-trade items from India," she said, "paper bead necklaces from east …
