Best of NJ Is in South Orange and Maplewood

Best of NJ Is in South Orange and Maplewood


New Jersey Monthly awards six "Bests" to local businesses.
8 of 9
Milk Money in Maplewood
South Orange and Maplewood are more than a place to live and work. They’re home to restaurants, food purveyors, stores and even a hiking trail that are known and recognized statewide. New Jersey Monthly’s “Best of New Jersey 2011,” hot off the presses, represents voters from around the state who told the magazine what’s best from around the Garden State and why.
Numerous locals who feed us and keep us dressed, well read, and supplied with toys scored well, snagging nominations and awards. Maplewood’s Words, Little One & Co. and Milk Money snagged “best” in their categories, while South Orange points proudly to Kitchen a la Mode, Pro Pets, and Robyn Ross as “bests.”
The big winners, of course, are the proud locals who can shop, eat and even hike nearby, at the very best the state has to offer. Congratulate your local merchant on another year of fine food, superb shopping, close to home. Then tell your friends to come shop and dine – the two towns’ RestaurantWeeks are the perfect occasion.
Cheers and congratulations to the winners!
