Openings

Café Le Jardin, Audubon

Rich and Christina Cusak, the husband-and-wife duo behind June BYOB in Collingswood, have opened a new French bistro in Audubon. Menu items include a three-egg omelet, a croque-madame, a crab cake sandwich, French onion soup, trout amandine and duck shepherd’s pie. The owners recommend pairing a cheese board with their Bean2Bean coffee, or bringing your own bottle of Champagne to enjoy with brunch on the outdoor patio.

Juicy Platters, Paramus

A new halal eatery has opened in Paramus. Joining locations in Fair Lawn, Hackensack and Harrison, Juicy Platters offers build-your-own platters, salads, pitas and wraps. Choose from chicken, beef gyro and falafel, then add toppings like hummus, plantains and spiced chickpeas. Feeling brave? Add a few drops of the Spicy AF sauce.

PrimoHoagies, Byram

The uber-popular Philadelphia-based sandwich chain continues to set up camp throughout the Garden State, with 32 locations already open and more slated to arrive. They offer several hot and cold sandwich specials. Keep it simple with a deli classic like the Audie—roasted turkey breast, roasted beef and American cheese. Or branch out a bit with something like the Crusher—cracked pepper turkey, sharp American cheese and pepper shooters. Meatless sandwich options are also available.
