On Sunday, August 25th, the annual Polish Festival, "Polish is Beautiful" was held on Washington Street between Sussex and Grand and featured live music and entertainment.
There were a number of stands celebrating Polish culture, history, and traditions with stacks of books in polish translations, flags, maps, lots of polish pride t-shirts, and some beautiful jewelry.

Second Street Bakery
On Monday, Second Street Bakery reopened after their annual two week vacation so I figured what better time to talk about them.
Second Street Bakery is not a bakery. At least, not in the sense of pastries, cakes and other desserts. Instead, Second Street is an old school italian deli with delicious sandwiches, stuffed breads, and other classic italian fare, all made onsite will all the bread baked in a coal-fired oven. It's family-run with a strong sense of tradition and familiarity. On weekends, lines will often go out the door (it's a small place and there's no seating) with firemen, policemen, and EMTs frequently stopping by. Neighbors shake hands, people ask about parents, houses, kids. Long time customers from other parts of NJ pick up party platters and huge brown bags filled with bread and rolls for family events. It's not new or trendy; it's just good, comforting food done the way it's always been done.
