Event Recap!

Last week we went on a food tour of Jersey City with Jersey Girls Food Tour. The first stop on this four-stop tour was Orale Mexican Kitchen: At Orale we had three different types of guacamole with the 3 different hot sauces – We tried the Blue Demon (blue cheese and toasted pumpkin seeds), the house guac, and the Serrano Marmalade one. Chilaquiles – Scrambled Eggs, Tortilla Chips, Chipotle Orange, Brown Butter, Roasted Asparagus, Cauliflower, Cilantro Crema, Cotija Cheese. Esquites – charred corn, crema, citrus, queso fresco (presented like the mexican flag!) Carnitas Tacos – Braised Crisp Pork Belly, Marinated Red Onions, Salsa Verde & Cilantro

After that we went to Pasta Dal Cuore where we had  The rice balls called Supplí. And we have spinach, walnut and lemon ravioli.

Our last stop was The Kitchen Step where we were greeted by the entire staff and given a drink that was made from scratch by resident mixologist Raymond Keane. The custom JGFT cocktail, which we were greeted with was made with avocado, infused mezcal, lime, agave, grapefruit liquor, pineapple-sriracha ice cubes. With the drink we had a frisee salad with duck confit on top.

Dessert to-go was from Downtown Yogurt. Artisan donuts from West Milford, NJ. Artisan
version of ring-dings.

The best part of the tours is that you get treated like special guests at each of the restaurants. As a side note, this special treatment lead to a repeat visit to one of the restaurants this week. Jersey Girls Food Tours does a phenomenal job with the level of knowledge, punctual nature of their tours and heartfelt care that they give the food scene of Jersey City. This was a great experience that we highly recommend and are recommending to everyone!

Head over to our Facebook page to see pictures from this great time!

We kicked off this past weekend on Friday with a huge party at Stag House/Doe.Tique to celebrate their grand opening and the birthday of both owners! Just to recap, we had a great time and you will see by the pictures below, that we were not the only ones who had fun. The mayor of Glen Rock even made an appearance to cut the ribbon, officially opening the salon and welcoming it to Glen Rock. We brought a couple of games, which you will see in the videos below, but the most fun of all was the oversized Jenga. It was a great time, and if you were in attendance, leave some comments below, letting everyone know what they missed and why they should head over to Stag House/Doe.Tique for a great haircut and an even better time!

Such an honor to have the mayor cut our opening ribbon! #barberworld #barberlife #salonworld #salonlife #grandopening #stag #staghouse #njstaghouse #barber #barbershop #salon #stylist #glenrock #games #shoptherock #womenshair #party #ribboncutting #bestclients #bergen

About Stag House/Doe.Tique (http://www.njstaghouse.com/)

A passion for barbering and a knack for people. It was less than three years before they started to encounter full books, daily. They spent their spare time together, marketing themselves, mixing and mingling with locals within Bergen County, NJ and in turn, acquired a strong, loyal following of men that supported their every move.

They decided to bring their book, and purchased Salon Salon Rocks in Glen Rock, NJ. With this space, they split it down the middle to accommodate the loyal clients the previous salon was experiencing, as well as their own.

Stag and its counterpart, Doe.Tique, strive themselves in local flavor, carrying products from New Jersey and New York, as well as host events after hours. Through the support of their staff and clients, they’re sure Stag will become a Bergen County staple.
