September 23
...serving up your daily dish.
We like to think we keep close tabs on all the restaurant comings and goings in Baristaville. So we were surprised when we saw the closing of Lime on New Jersey Monthly's openings and closings for September. Lime? When we dropped a line to Rosie Saferstein, she confirmed the restaurant was "somewhere in Montclair." How did we miss it? Was it some kind of low-key, no name on the door place that required a secret handshake to get in? We couldn't find any address or phone number listed. If you know where Lime is/was, what they served and whether will they be missed, do tell.

Lime was in Westfield, I guess Rosie screwed up and didn't want to admit her fault. It would be kind of cool if there was a secretive place like that in Montclair but with all the competition for business in this town it wouldn't be a very solid marketing plan.

I recall someone mentioning this place as being a sports drink/healthy smoothie place. Around Orange/Harrison Road.

I heard it wasn't a restaurant at all, but a place where Bloods and Crips dismembered all of the people they had driven off the road and shot for flashing their headlights.

Montclair-is-crazy: I can now turn my computer off -- I have had my laugh for the day. Thank you for that.

m_i_c: No, that place was called Quicklime.

Westfield: Isn't that the place where organ theives cut out your kidneys to sell to those folks in Nigeria who need you to store their money in your bank account?

the irony here- is that someone is giving you perhaps some good (then again it may be useless information)-you discredit it based on the fact that you have decided unequivably this information to be utterly useless.
however, if indeed a warning hadn't been issued--and in fact this information actually has a kernel of truth--who'll be screaming "why hasn't law enforcement warned us"----
so instead of dismissing everything "oh so wise ones"-take it or leave it but don't say no one told you.
