Adorable baby joey finally comes out of its mom’s pouch at the Bronx Zoo
A rare tree kangaroo born in The Bronx at the end of December has finally come out of the marsupial pouch. The tiny Matschie’s tree kangaroo, considered endangered by International Union for Conservation of Nature since 1996, can be seen poking its head out of its mother’s pouch in a post by the Bronx Zoo on X. At birth, the tree kangaroo joey is the size of a jellybean, and the majority of its physical development occurs in the mother’s pouch. Joeys don’t emerge fully from the pouch for about seven months, the zoo said, and returns to it frequently to nurse....
All-American Classics Are Given A Farm-Fresh Spin At New Jersey's First Farm-To-Table Diner
New Jersey is definitely the diner capital of America, and we like it that way! These iconic, omnipresent, affordable eateries can usually be found in every town, and they’re a great place to fill up on a classic breakfast plate, burger, or hearty dinner. Key word – full. Diners are a lot of things, but they’re typically not light or healthy! Most of the time, that’s great – but sometimes you’re in the mood for something different. That’s where New Jersey’s newest diner, the Country MKT (Market) Diner comes into play. Located in Closter, this is the first farm-to-table diner in New Jersey, and was founded by a pair of chefs to take over the now-defunct Valley Diner. The menu has all our classic diner favorites, but with a healthy and local twist thanks to partnerships with local farmers and vendors. It just opened in early 2024, and I can see it becoming one of my favorite diners!

NYC mom beats heat by giving neighborhood kids sidewalk pools: ‘Inner city creativity’
One Brooklyn mom is making sure summer goes swimmingly for her son and other neighborhood kids. In what’s become a summer tradition that started during the pandemic, Jasmina “Jazz” Jeter has set up a small swimming pool on the sidewalk across from her apartment in Bed-Stuy. This year, she added a second, shallower one for the littlest kids. “All the parents on the block are appreciative, because now their kids have something to do,” Jeter told The Post. “Some of the kids have never even been to the beach.” Masked gunmen on scooter behind fatal shooting outside NYC migrant shelter that may...
Dave Portnoy’s pizza festival is coming and 8 joints are from NJ
If pizza were a nation, Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy would be its president. When it comes to pizza Portnoy might arguably be the most important man on the planet. His reviews can make or break a pizza shop. I had some hometown pride myself when he went to Nancy’s Town House in Rahway (I was born and raised there) and gave it an 8.8. He also loved the atmosphere inside but as almost always did his review standing just outside.
