Looking for Love in New Jersey?

If you're looking for love in New Jersey, you're best off keeping in mind that old real estate adage -- location, location, location.
Single folks tend to gather in certain areas of the state, according to 2014 Census data. The towns with the highest percentages of unmarried residents are mostly in cities or on the southern shore. Asbury Park in Monmouth County led the pack, with 78 percent of residents 15 or older listing their status as never married, divorced, separated or widowed. (The 2014 Census includes same-sex marriages, and long-term partners can list themselves as married if they choose.) Camden, Seaside Heights, Salem and New Brunswick were next on the list, followed by Maurice River in Cumberland County. East Orange, Newark, New Hanover and Penns Grove rounded out the top 10. Many of the top spots were urban areas. Fourteen of 15 New Jersey municipalities with the highest population density had single people form more than 50 percent of their population. It's not entirely unexpected, considering we have already written about the flow of young residents into cities and away from suburban sprawl. But the high rates of single-dom in southern New Jersey towns came as a bit of a surprise. The region has hot spots like Fairfield, Millville and Downe along the Delaware Bay. Of course, if you're looking to chase down a partner, the locals' gender split might be something to consider as well. Women out number men the most in Somerset County, whereas Sussex County has the highest percentage of men. In the era of Tinder and Skype, finding romance in remote locations has never been easier. But if online dating has got you down, you can play the New Jersey numbers game to find that perfect match. |

Every family has that one beauty secret they pass down from generation to generation. It’s usually a trick coined by a grandmother (or even someone from generations before) and somehow just stuck around for years as the end-all-be-all trick that guarantees everlasting beauty. There’s almost always someone on the family tree that’s convinced that the secret to permanent youth is just to wash your face with cold water every night, while some families swear that the only way to ensure wrinkle-free skin is by following an intense 7-step skincare regimen complete with two different cleansers, a facial roller and toner. Some just swear by cold cream. Others cover their Pinterest boards with close-ups of Meghan MarkleOpens a New Window.‘s flawless freckles.

Listen up with Social Media
|
Listening to what people are saying about your company, your brand, your service, your competition is the starting point for content marketing. Traditional methods for harvesting data include customer surveys, focus groups, feedback, tools and other methods that tend to push out questions that pull in the answers. But Social Media has changed all that. Online conversations can be tracked and measured with free tools like search, twitter.com Google alerts, Technorati Boardreader and more.

TERRE A TERRE We won't reveal the secret to chef Todd Villani's gravy (or, as you may call it, red sauce). Here, for publication, you'll get a coy answer: "We owe it to Mom."
Chef Todd Villani, in the dining room of Terre a Terre Cathy Miller But if you want the full story, collar Villani during one of his supper club events — when his guard is down, when he's laughing and joking — and maybe, maybe, he'll share.Those who attended last summer's "Godfather" event already know the answer and it's not a secret you'd expect Villani is not typically a red sauce guy; he will astonish you with his grandiose, often opulent, cuisine — jewelry on a plate — made with a religious adherence to local ingredients. (He has a 300-mile limit.) The menu at Terre a Terre is ever-changing, but scallops are outrageous, polenta decadent and the short-ribs a beloved signature. Yet the setting is country French, so it never feels too froufrou.

Short ribs are a signature dish at the restaurant.Facebook page The supper club events offer a chance for a more intimate connection with the chef, says Villani's publicist (and sister) Lisa Meyer. Plus, a chance to meet the farmers, the winemakers, the food artisans (including pasta-maker Sfoglini, from Brooklyn, a company that uses organic, local ingredients).
Should you attend one of these events, you'll be astonished, too, by the chef's humility. • Terre À Terre | 312 Hackensack St., Carlstadt | (201) 507-0500 |terreaterre.biz |

And the egg that drapes over? Easy enough, says chef Michael Merida. A fried egg makes everything taste better. He’s right, of course. Break that sunny yolk and its luster dribbles its way through the sandwich ($14), which may be your best lobster sandwich yet, though it’s gone before you’re able to make that determination: You’ve enjoyed it too much to think about it. Talk three minutes to Merida and you’ll hear about hitting all the senses. It’s a Fat Duck philosophy; Merida spent two stints at Heston Blumenthal’s famous British Michelin-starred restaurant, which is consistently named one of the world’s best. Blumenthal challenges traditional approaches; he’s the chef who combined white chocolate and caviar. "When you eat it, you understand," says Merida, who also worked at El Bulli in Spain, arguably the most famously daring restaurant in the world during its tenure. Yet Merida’s food at Cravings is no science project, nor a precious or academic experience. People don’t want a menu full of words they don’t understand, says the chef at this global tapas bar. Merida may have worked in two of the most experimental kitchens in all the world, but you won’t care to know all the science behind your seduction. You’ll just want to order something else. Merida’s veal meatballs ($11), a must, are more jaunty than most; they’re made with Japanese bread crumbs, basil and Pecorino cheese and won a best-of-New-York contest in 2010. Hand-crafted empanadas ($5) are adorable and just crusty enough; the traditional, with beef, sautéed onions and olives, is comfortingly mild.
Cured meats and cheese (3 for $11) include a distinct Serrano ham and a mild, nutty Manchego. The gyoza dough in the Asian dim sum ($8), an evening special, is crisped perfectly, though the shrimp inside seemed slightly gummy and the Thai chili glaze overly sweet.
Short ribs quesadilla ($12) rivals the lobster sandwich as best dish of the night. Merida explains how he hits your senses, from choosing short rib over flank steak (for its fattiness) to the overnight marinade, the four-hour braising, the Granny Smith apples (texture) and the creamy dabs of basil dressing (fat). But he had you at hello, and you’ve long stopped paying attention.
Desserts include a re-imagined strawberry shortcake ($10) made with almond cake, macerated strawberries and white chocolate — one that will leave you speechless and that you will not share. A sweet empanada ($6) with guava and cheese is crisp, hot and not overly sweet, served with a perky mango sauce.
You will likely wait for a table; there is almost always a crowd vying for the 58 seats in this modern, urbane bistro. And you might be startled when many dishes arrive at once — an embarrassment of riches that prompts a too-fast consumption of dinner.
But your bill will not give you agita, as it often does at a small-plates restaurant. And you’ll plan a return visit before you even leave.
