Hanover Commons — Attraction in East Hanover

This place is seriously creepy. Yes, it has everything you need in the way of sporting goods (mostly apparel), but from the moment you enter you are surrounded by faceless manikins while you search for an actual person to help you through the maze of a big box store as you search for that single item you are looking for. And every time you think you have seen a real person, it's just another manikin. Until you get to the center of the store and hear some employees gathered near the changing rooms, laughing and shooting the breeze, and you feel like approaching them with your question might be more of an intrusion than it's worth. So you check out the thing you came to check out and leave without buying anything, all the while being judged by the faceless hoards of maniquins. Dick's is not the sporting goods store I remember. Is Sports Authority still...

I stopped at Kam man Foods to show my sister this Chinese grocery store. She lives in Florida where a lot of this stuff just isn't available

We were disappointed about a couple things. First when you walk in the door your hit by a strong smell of old fish. That tells me they're really not cleaning well so I wouldn't buy anything fresh from them.

One of the things my Sister purchased was a White jasmine tea that came in a jar. She was really excited because she can't get this at home. We brought it back and tried it out and her first impression was that it smells like dirty feet. It will probably wind up in the garbage.

She also purchased some individual packets of miso soup which we had for lunch. It was almost tasteless. It seems that there is no quality control with their merchandise

I will wait to hear from her about her...

My friends and I ate at The Godfather. The food is well cooked. They make their pizzas nice and fulfilling for one person. The top is a cheese and pepperoni pizza, with some decent onion rings, although they can go easy a bit on the oil. The bottom pizza is a four cheese margarita pizza, it has mozzarella, goat cheese, parmesan, and the fourth I do not remember sadly. Two large pizzas, onion wings and a glass of lemonade all came to around $34, which is actually a really great deal. I didn't like the fact that it felt a bit too crowded, and there were a couple of incidents where there was people yelling at a sports bar tv. Yet again, this was a sports bar area we went to. Otherwise still worth bringing...
