If Tiger Woods is Still In Town...

If Tiger Woods is still in town, he should take my advice to soothe the pain of the triple-bogey from today's performance at The Barclays.  My recommendation for plans tonight in Bergen County is inspired by the beautiful day we had today and the promise of fair, almost fall-like, weather that is predicted for tonight.  If you have never been, you must visit Nisi Estiatorio in Englewood.  Easy to get to, valet parking, and some of the best Greek food around.  Let me also say that this is NOT your typical Greek restaurant: it's classy, sophisticated and food is not your average Greek fare.  These guys do it right.  You should expect a good crowd tonight.  An important note:  Even though I like to recommend places with live music (or some kind of entertainment), this place is different.  The environment and the food are the stars here.  Hey, I know it's no trophy Tiger, but it's still ultra cool and pretty fantastic.
PS - If you took my advice about Sanzari's last night, you made the right move... I heard the place was jammin'.  Josh and Liza apparently lit it up as usual.  I might have to stop by there myself tonight.  (Now there's a plan: Nisi Estiatorio for dinner and Sanzari's for the entertainment and a night cap!)

Two Top Choices Tonight...

For those of you that up for something a little wild...  I heard that the past few Fridays at Dragonfly in Carlstadt have been filled with craziness.  Tonight the music will be hosted by DJ Richie Rydell.  Dragonfly is a big indoor/outdoor bar and lounge.  To give you an idea of what the scene is like - they recently had the Naked Cowboy from Time Square host Bikini Bull Riding night complete with loud music and a mechanical bull.  They used to have the bull every Wednesday night...  the rumor is, it's making a comeback.  A word to the wise: This is a younger crowd.  Old folks - you've been warned.

Tonight is also a good night for Sanzari's New Bridge Inn in New Milford.  (Hint, hint: this has been a secret Bergen County hot spot for the North Jersey elite this past summer and my guess is that they are just getting started.)  This place is really for young and old, but leaning to the more sophisticated side.  According to my sources, the crowd has been getting better, better every weekend.  The reason: Great, reasonably priced Italian food and fantastic live music by Josh and Liza from A-List Entertainment Co.  They are über-talented vocalists that light up the place with the perfect music choices that span from Sinatra's era to today's hits.  According to the hostess at Sanzari's, Josh and Liza play almost every Friday and Saturday.  Trust me: If you haven't heard these guys yet, you do not know what your missing.  This is not your run-of-the-mill live restaurant entertainment.  This is infinitely more special.  PS - Call ahead and ask to be seated on the bar side of the restaurant.
