From Millburn Ave to Main Street in Chatham, I’m still home.

When I moved to Chatham last year from Short Hills, it felt like I was moving to another country, yet it is only one town over! I was used to Millburn Ave, not Main Street! and I swear the leaves on the trees were a duller shade of green. After 25 years of living in Short Hills, I was "a woman without a neighborhood," homesick and lost.

What I've come to learn, is that the Summit, Chatham and the Short Hills areas are more closely connected than I ever realized. It just took a personal move to find out.

Why the change in attitude?

Recently I had opportunities to dine at two local Chatham restaurants; Gregorio's and Scalini Fedeli. Both are on Main St, within walking distance to everything in town, a convenience I love.

Gregorio's can get really busy, so be sure to get a reservation and bring your own wine which I always consider a plus. A few other local hot spots on Main Street and not to be missed; Seranade , fine dining to perfection. A Taste of Asia is Malaysian cuisine. For those who don't know what that is, it's a mix of Chinese and Thai food. Yum! Chatham of course has a Japanese restaurant. Mitsuba . I've been to my fair share of sushi places. This might be one my favorites of all times!
