More Jersey Adventures

Work took me to Jersey on Friday. I'll spare you the details of the trip which proved Murphy's law and just say when you are in a County law library and a man pees in a chair you are not having a good day.

I did add another tick on the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives tour. I ate at the Tick Tock Diner in Clifton, NJ. For some reason, it's hard to get good corned beef and hash consistently around DC, but I must say the Tick Tock Diner delivers--and a huge portion. On a sweet note, you might think that I had two kinds of toast in this picture, when one plate is in fact toasted pound cake! Brilliant.

It is embarrassing to admit this, but I even went back to the diner for dinner before I left. I wanted to go to White Hanna (also on triple D)for hamburgers, but my iPhone was in desperate need of charging and I needed it to find the turnpike. Plus it was the only other place I could find with the paper directions I printed out. If you look at the picture, you'll see that the hamburger places was tiny.

For round 2 I enjoyed the diner classic meatloaf. It was a very good meatloaf, but what blew me away was the portion size. For about $15 you get a salad, two side and FOUR slices of meatloaf. Needless to say I took some home as well as a couple of cannolis for Mr. Big and piece of chocolate mousse cake for me.
