The Goldman House, a piece of utopian history in Piscataway, is in danger of demolition
Driving past 143 School St. in Piscataway, it’s easy to ignore the dilapidated, oddly-shaped house on a corner, surrounded by otherwise nondescript neighborhood homes. But take a closer look.

At Bernadette in Scotch Plains, It’s All About the Tapas
A new restaurant in Scotch Plains is impressing diners with defined tapas, French-Mediterranean plates and a stunning cocktail list. The word “tapas” derives from the Spanish word “tapar,” meaning “to cover.” There are several theories as to how the bite-sized appetizers got their name, but my favorite one is this: in Spanish taverns, specifically in the region of Andalusia, bar-goers would snack on thin slices of bread with a variety of toppings. In between sips of their regionally abundant sherry, the bar-goers would cover their glasses with their bread-assembled bites. The practice became common to prevent fruit flies but morphed into somewhat of a right of passage when drinking at these taverns. “Tapas” they would exclaim, and the name has stuck ever since.
