Rutherford Public Library
Cute hometown library.
Pros:
- Open spaces
- Table spaces to work spread out the library
- good lighting
Cons:
- it's on the smaller side but doesn't have that small cozy feel to it.
- kid section is OK but small
- it's open looking because I feel like the selection is not very large - there's so much room to fill.

Mint and olives
The food was great! Large portions and were very satisfied after leaving. It did take a little while but that just meant everything was fresh and cooked up well.
I got the Mixed Khabob platter and got to try all the meats. The Gyro was really big and flavorful. Had fun drinks in the fridge. The fries were so good! and large portion too.
The only thing to note though is they charge a pretty high Credit Card fee so just be aware.

Suenos de Salsa
Love Suenos!!!
Atmosphere: I was a beginner and had no idea what to expect. Suenos is super welcoming and warm to new comers.
Lessons experience: (Salsa) All the instructors (Mojan, Michael, & Kelly) were friendly and easy going. They were all excellent teachers - giving you pointers and allowing you to practice. They pointed out common mistakes so you can avoid and they gave you extra things you can add to your dance that was slightly above your level to push you. I've taken Level I and Level II - the structure is a warm up, then lesson led by the instructors and you dance switching partners every few minutes, and then at the end you get your phones out and film the instructors doing the steps of the day so you can practice the steps at home. Level I is basic and then Level II really steps it up - it seems many people retake Level II multiple times so they can practice more and there's different steps to learn each time since they mix it up.
The lessons were reasonable - ~$80 for 4 lessons. If you do the membership, you can drop into many classes whenever you want. This is the most worth it if you plan on really dedicating yourself and coming here often.
Dance Socials: They have socials for Salsa & Bachata on Wednesday nights. It's $5 if you're a student and $10 if you're not. I find that these socials are a great time to practice what you've learned. Everyone that comes out are super friendly and welcoming. I have not had a bad experience here. People of all levels come out and dance. It's OK if you are new - you just jump in and have a good time.
If you're thinking of learning Bachata or Salsa, I highly recommend Suenos. I know there are many other studios out there but I think Suenos is the best! Oh one more thing, they teach Salsa On 2 (apparently other places teach On 1).

CHINA NORTH DUMPLING INC
Comforting authentic Chinese food at its best. I just felt like I was home eating some of these dishes.
You get complimentary salted peanuts and a little cabbage salad once you sit down along with your tea.
We got the Pork Special (Hong Shou Rou with Bok choy) and Hong Shou Eggplant. Oh man!!! SO SO SO GOOD. Damn, the flavors were just spot on. Almost like my mom made it, almost. The eggplant took a bit longer but that just guaranteed its freshness - it was coated and fried and that locked in the tenderness of the eggplant. So good! I was already a bit full but I just kept eating because it was so good.
Highly recommend both dishes and I would love to even try something else next time because I now trust this place to deliver on flavor. And with the price, you just can't beat it.
I definitely understand why this is one of my uncle's go to spots.
