It’s beginning to cool off and then the leaves will change colors, as Autumn shepherds in yet another crop of restaurants to the area. And don’t be surprised if some one this get pushed to next year ― though we expect most of these to open sometime before the end of December.

Two of the biggest places openings will be in Closter ― one with the arrival of a popular restaurateur bringing a French-style brasserie (Read Brasserie Memere Article) and the return of another (Read Stern & Bow Article).

Coffee shops never sleep… with new spots in Wayne (Read Cabana Coffee Article), Ramsey (Read American Bulldog Article), and Teaneck (Read Kudo Society Article).

Plenty of chains are expanding new locations in the shopping mecca of Paramus with pizza (Read Firenza Article), Mexican (Read Bukkaboo Article), falafel (Read Mamouns Article), and small plates/wine bar (Read Article).

What else? Kosher treats in Tenafly (Read Creaminals Article), America’s Best Grocery Store in Paramus (Article), Korean in Ridgewood (Read Article), plant-based eats in Hillsdale (Read Rockin’ Roots Article), poke in Secaucus (Read Article), and the return of Dimora in Norwood (Read Article).

There’s plenty more where that came from and likely other announcements are coming down the pipeline ― in fact there’s some rumblings of interesting new places coming, though nothing confirmed at this point. Stay tuned and enjoy your fall of eating!
