Farmerʼs Market Downtown Metuchen is home to more than its fair share of events, playing host to Cruise Nights when various gorgeous and antique vehicles come on display, to the Junebug ArtFest that occupies Main Street on Friday nights through the month of June since 2008. This year, one of Metuchen's popular events is moving closer to Main Street and bringing with it the crowd pleasers that have kept a part of Metuchen's repertoire of events, Market Day. Occurring every Saturday from mid June thru October 1st, the Metuchen Market Day is a spread table of offerings from the many farms of the Garden State. The big move this year is to the corner of Pearl and New Streets in downtown Metuchen. The market will feature palette pleasers for those who take serious their gastronomic ventures as well as delightful flavors for those who simply enjoy a good bite. Participants are wide and varied. Here are a few of the big names that can be spotted on Market Day: Farmer Al's - A Jamesburg based farm that began in 1924 and offers fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruitwood Orchards - A honey farm out of the Delaware Valley that also offers fruits and vegetables. Hoboken Farms - Offering meats, pastas, and breads, Hoboken Farms brings some Italian flavor to Market Day. Little Owl Soap - Producers of hand-crafted vegan soaps and other products. Maglione's Italian Ice's - Providing something cold to refresh the spirit on a hot summer Saturday. Oak Pond Farms - Fresh eggs for anything from omelets to thickening ricotta for a tasty lasagna. Paolo's Kitchen - Coming all the way from New Providence, they provide a bevy of prepared Italian foods. Simply Nic's - Cultivating a sweet tooth for not just the young, but those with a sophisticated palette for somethings that's more than just a cookie. Vesco Foods - Another provisioner of Italian morsels of delight, Vesco's offers marinated mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, pickles and olives. Von Thun Farms - All the way from Monmouth Junction comes a few more home grown fruits and vegetables ready to eat or for later preparation. Market Day isn't limited to just these, as there will also be a few highlighted restaurants and wine shops. The Saturday long events aim to appease everyone with something and will even feature events like concerts and recipe demonstrations. Some of Metuchen's own local shops, such as Gardenia's, will be present with their own provisions. On June 18th, opening day for the Farmers Market, the vendors were met with over 800 enthusiastic patrons, some of the stands even cleared out of product! Be sure to make a stop at Metuchen Market Day, every Saturday from 9AM to 2 PM thru the Summer into early Autumn, the earlier the better as things will sell out!

BRICK OVEN PIZZERIAOFFERS OLD WORLDTASTEGulino’s Trattoria is one of the newest membersof theMetuchenArea Chamber of Commerce. OnTuesday, April 12th, representatives of theChamber were joined by Metuchen MayorThomas Vahalla for an official ribbon cuttingwelcoming Gianluca Gulino to the Chamber andthe community. Guests that visited 205 MainStreet during the ribbon cutting were treated tosome of their delicious menu items.
Owned and managed by Gianluca Gulino sinceJuly 2010, Gulino’s provides a quality familydining experience to the southern end of MainStreet. Gulino, a New York City native and firstgeneration Italian American, grew up in Brooklynand is thrilled to bring his style of old worldcooking to Metuchen. The Gulino family has beenin the restaurant business for three generations. Hecredits his parents and grandparents for passingdown the family traditions,recipes, and above all apassion for cooking. Whenaskedwhy he chose to open inMetuchen, Gianluca stated, “Iwas looking for an op-portunity to open a restaurant,when I came upon an openingin Metuchen. Not knowinganything about the com-munity, I decided to take adrive through the neigh-borhood and found that thesmall, quaint, neighborhoodfeel was exactly what Iwanted. The fact that therewas no restaurant of this typeon this side of town convincedme that I could provide amuch-needed service to thispart of the community.”
Gulino’s Trattoria creates aone-of-a-kind dining experience through a menuspecializing in pizza, panini
and salads using only the finest ingredients. “Wemake our own mozzarella on the premises daily,and we only use a wood burning oven importedfrom Italy to bake all of our pizzas,” said Gulino.Using old family recipes that date back to hisgrandparents’ restaurant in Sicily and creations allhis own, Gulino has brought his unique style ofcooking to Metuchen. Gianluca, better known asLuca, takes the time to prepare every pizza toperfection. His pizzas are truly a work of art. Therestaurant offers an array of inventive salads andpanini, along with artisan pizzas.
The most popular salad at Gulino’s is the Caprinawith grilled chicken. Crisp mixed mesclun greens,dried cranberries, candied walnuts, thinly slicedapples and grilled chicken tossed with theirhomemade balsamic vinaigrette and topped offwith goat cheese medallions are what make thissalad a neighborhood favorite. The Panino Gulinois a house specialty. It’s an olive lover’s dream!ThePanino Gulino is made with an imported NewOrleans olive salad, grilled chicken, the finestimported prosciutto and Gulino’s own homemade
fresh mozzarella. Their overall best seller is theGrandma Pie. Its crust is thin and crisp, and thesauce is made from his mother’s recipe using SanMarzano tomatoes. If that wasn’t enough to getyour mouth watering, once the pie is out of theoven he adds a final touch by pouring premiumextra virgin olive oil, a generous amount of freshlygrated parmigiano-reggiano cheese and freshly cutbasil leaves over top.When asked about adding thebasil at the very end he replied, “If you bake thepizza with the olive oil, parmigiano and basil on it,you don’t get the full flavor and aroma out of theingredients. Plus, it’s thewaymy family has alwaysdone it, so why change a good thing!”A variety ofdelectable desserts and coffee are also available asa perfect ending to the most delicious meal. Acatering menu is available for all of your specialevents.
The atmosphere at Gulino’s Trattoria is relaxedand is great for a night out with the family orfriends. The staff is knowledgeable and courteous,and their friendly demeanor provides thatwelcoming old world feeling.While the restaurant
does not serve alcohol, guestsare welcome to bring their own.For your convenience, theyaccept Visa, MasterCard andDiscover. If you are placing anorder on-line they will acceptAmerican Express. Of course,they are happy to accept yourMetuchen Area Chamber ofCommerce gift certificates aswell.

SPRING HAS SPRUNGWITH THE ARRIVAL OFGARDENIAS!A Grand Opening, Open House, and officialRibbon Cutting Ceremony took place on Friday,April 15th at Gardenias Floral. Representativesfrom the Metuchen Area Chamber of Commercewere joined by Metuchen Mayor Thomas Vahallaas we welcomed Samantha Monday and AdamWoodruff, to the business community. Visitors at297 Main Street were treated to light refreshmentsand a peak at their beautiful showroom.
Gardenia’s Floral is one of the most socially andenvironmentally responsible florists in New Jersey.They respect the planet and try to be as energyefficient as possible. They reduce waste, therebyreducing costs. Nearly all of the flower and foliageclippings most other florists bag and send to thelandfills and incinerators is composted. They sellas many locally grown flowers, fruits, foliages, andplants as possible in an effort to support localfarmers and reduce their carbon footprint. Theycarry VeriFlora products and even organic roses.(VeriFlora is an agricultural sustainabilitycertification and eco-labeling program recognizedin the floriculture and horticulture industries as thegold-standard.)
Samantha, a life-long resident of Metuchen,discovered her love for flowers when she beganapprenticing at the age of 13 for one of the localflorists. Adam, a native of Montclair with abackground in landscape architecture, ownedhis own business in northern New Jersey formany years before moving to Hawaii. Whilevacationing in Hawaii, Samantha met her soon-to-be partner tending the garden on a tropicalplantation. They immediately realized thepassion they shared for horticulture, and within8 months Adam moved back to New Jersey.Both had a strong desire to own their ownbusiness and work for themselves. “Gardeniasare my favorite flower, and when we first met,Adam picked armfuls of gardenias for me nearthe rainforest where he lived on Maui.
