Trader Joe’s Westfield and Florham Park.
A couple of weeks ago, I was speaking with the buyer of one of my listings about Trader Joe’s. She had never heard of the place. Never tasted a glass of Charles Shaw wine, eaten a TJ’s Chicken Gorgonzola or inhaled a pint of Double Rainbow ice cream. I just couldn’t believe it.
Trader Joe’s has a special place in my heart. When I graduated from NYU and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry, I pretty much survived by shopping at the Trader Joe’s. It’s an amazing store, a culinary utopia where you can buy all kinds of gourmet foods at really good prices.
Well, I never became a star, instead settling for roles in B movies with the likes of Ginger Lynn Allen and Wings Hauser. It wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I graduated from Tisch School of the Arts, but it was a start. Anyhow, Trader Joe’s kept me afloat during my early twenties. I may have eaten 10,000 cheese enchiladas and 600 bags of dried apricots, but I never lost my dignity. Well, not in the food arena.
It’s now it’s 2008, and I may have traded in the rundown apartment in Los Angeles with gun shots and police helicopters flying overhead for a modest home in Short Hills, but I still shop at Trader Joe’s. Still eat cheese enchiladas — but have moved on to dried persimmons. They’re really good.
So, why not give Trader Joe’s a try. There are two locations in this area:

Oh, by the way, please don’t tell anyone about those B movies I did back in 90’s. It’s not the kind of thing I would want to broadcast to potential clients.
