88 Cafe is a pleasant Chinese restaurant in Livingston, NJ.
Located in an old Friendly's building with the signature cupola, on approach you are greated by statues of Chinese warriors, but don't be afraid. Once inside you will find a smartly designed and comfortable dining room with a friendly and well trained wait staff.
We have dine at and taken out from 88 Cafe many times and have always enjoyed their food and service.
"It was a Wednesday night around 7:30 and Casellula, a small, boxy wine bar in Clinton, was filling up. Patrons packed the seats at the small polished wood bar and the inexpensive wood tables, trading sips of wine, sharing beautifully composed cheese selections and passing plates back and forth."
While there i disovered a new wine, a new grape, that is very worthy. This always makes me happy.
The wine is 2006 Terre de Neptune Picpoul. A perfect wine for summer or all year round. It is a rather rare wine, produced only in the province of Languedoc.
In Montclair, we help our kids celebrate their High School commencement with a an all-night, alcohol and drug free celebration called Project Graduation. What does this have to do with food and wine, you ask.
Well to fund this event many generous families hold fund raising dinners or parties to support Project Graduation. We attended one of these events, a fabulous wine and cheese tasting hosted by Adrianne & Neil Schmidt, Anita & Jack Kassel, and Aggie & Jeff Kushner. The tasting featured wine enthusiast, educator and entertainer Carol Berman, The Traveling Sommelier. And cheese maven, meister and monger Micheal Trullinger.
