Dolma
Walking into Dolma, I could immediately tell that this restaurant would be special. It's not very large, seating approximately 20-25, but sunlight streams through the windows and the space is bright but calming. It's a clean aesthetic, but cozy with a few touches of old world Mediterranean charm.
From the same owner as Two Aprons, Dolma, 270 Grand Street, opened up a couple months ago, initially serving weekday lunch and more recently adding a weekend brunch. They'll also soon be adding in dinner, but in a move I personally can appreciate, are moving slowly, making sure the service and menu is under control and that they're fully prepared. The attention to detail and emphasis on good service is immediately apparent and for a fairly new restaurant, it appears to be running almost seamlessly. I was blown away by the easy, relaxed attitude of the servers and staff and the quality of my whole experience.

Last Minute Holiday Shopping in Jersey City
We're heading towards the end of holiday season, but as it seems to fly by faster and faster every year, here are some last-minute gift recommendations from around Jersey City:
Milk Sugar Love has some ready-made treats at the store including frosted and decorated holiday cookies, bourbon sea salt caramels, and bags of decadent caramel popcorn with chocolate drizzle and salted peanuts.
L'Atelier Du Chocolat is the perfect place to stop for a last-minute gift for almost anyone with their high quality chocolates, exotic flavors, jams, and really, what better way to say Happy New Year than with a box of champagne truffles?
