Any other suggestions? Thanks! Fri Jun 29 09:36:57 -0700 2007 38713 hipmama 1 2707210 Do baked goods count as food? Their part of my food pyramid :) Anyway, there's a cute little pastry shop in Cranbury called Cranbury Delights on North Main Street. It is run by a hungarian young lady and she has baked goods AND ice cream there right now. mmmm. Fri Jun 29 12:55:14 -0700 2007 2706473 72963 njeggy1 2 4708006 This is a little gem! Thanks for posting! She has homemade chocolates - homemade Linzer Tarts, she makes some of them in the shape of Pop Flowers!! Homemade desserts and homemade Ice Cream! I can only eat so much everyday but it is close to home and I will be back! Fri May 22 18:06:22 -0700 2009 2707210 154727 shabbystorm 2 4739525 Stopped at Cranbury Delights today . Very good carrot cake and cherry strudel . They have homemade bread twice a week - tuesday and I forgot the other . I'll be back to sample their ice cream . While I was there the Owner told me about a new Hungarian place in Ewing - a deli Barbara's Hungarian Kitchen located in a mall on Parkway - address is 1400 . Wed Jun 03 12:17:00 -0700 2009 2707210 109071 arpad 3 4752032 The happiest thing happened in Cranbury at that little shop Cranbury Delights on main street. On Saturdays only, they set up outside the store under a canopy and make Hungarian Crepes, Palatschinke. You can have them filled with a choice of fruit or nutella!! Had mine with Nutella and two baby scoops of that cinnamon ice cream. It was heaven, 5.00 and worth every penny. Mon Jun 08 04:15:55 -0700 2009 4739525 154727 shabbystorm 1 2708012 I went to a Hungarian festival there a few years ago sponsored by the local Hungarian/catholic church. I don't recall the name but if you look it up they may be able to help you. Fri Jun 29 17:01:30 -0700 2007 2706473 13599 Ellen 2 2708119 That Hungarian Festival was in early June. I missed it this year. I went two years ago and the food was outstanding. Fri Jun 29 19:15:21 -0700 2007 2708012 10293 val ann c 1 2708622 Yes, Chardas (no apostrophe!!) still exists, at 214 Somerset St, in the shadow of the ever-growing Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. It is apparently the last remaining Hungarian restaurant in New Brunswick. Sat Jun 30 03:48:01 -0700 2007 2706473 25376 Ted in Central NJ 2 2709676 That's a shame that the Hungarian food scene is apparently dwindling in NB. I went to Rutgers (many moon ago) and lived downtown. I still remember being pleasantly surprised when I learned about the large Hungarian community in the area. Previously I had never encountered such a phenomena as an ethnic neighborhood (though I had heard plenty from my parents about growing up in one...) Anyway, I believe I am going to have to make it a point to take the family to Chardas while it's still there. Sat Jun 30 15:15:14 -0700 2007 2708622 63569 flourgirl 2 2710032 Isn't there still a bar named Budha, Pest or Magyar in the same area? Sat Jun 30 18:58:44 -0700 2007 2708622 93538 Passadumkeg 3 3862826 Yup the Buda Bar is still there ! Sat Jul 12 13:32:12 -0700 2008 2710032 109071 arpad 4 4708471 Mom was in Robt. Wood last Oct. and I hit the Budha Bar after seeing her (She was in poor shape and died 3 wks later at nearly 93), pretty crummy and no Hung food, but the Istanbul del next door had NJ Sloppy Joes. Sat May 23 03:29:07 -0700 2009 3862826 93538 Passadumkeg 2 2711685 The building still exists but the business is gone . There was a deal in place for Csardas to move to another building owned by a local church but that building had a fire and the NB Fire Marshal vetoed any use of the place barring a total rebuild . Sun Jul 01 17:29:52 -0700 2007 2708622 109071 arpad 1 3864086 There is a Hungarian Deli a few blocks west of where Cszardas was . Somerset and Oak is the intersection . Sun Jul 13 05:44:30 -0700 2008 2706473 109071 arpad 2 3864143 arpad, thanks for the info. I'll make it a point to check out this deli when I'm in the neighborhood. I'm wondering though.....what differentiates a Hungarian deli from, say, a Polish deli or a German deli or an "east European deli"? Sun Jul 13 06:31:44 -0700 2008 3864086 57768 ambrose 3 3864188 Mostly the types of sausages and pastries . Polish and Hungarian kolbas are different . Hungarians make a sausage - hurka - from kasha and organ meats , with or without blood , that I haven' t seen in Polish places . To my taste also I find Hungarian filled pastries to have more filling while the Polish equivalents are drier ! Sun Jul 13 06:59:00 -0700 2008 3864143 109071 arpad 4 3864277 Thanks again Now I'm going to have to do some taste testing! Oh well, someone has to do it.

Brunswick has Hungarian sausages Sat May 23 03:33:34 -0700 2009 2706473 93538 Passadumkeg 1 4708534 And don't forget the Hungarian Festival is June 6th on Somerset St . Sat May 23 05:03:31 -0700 2009 2706473 109071 arpad 1 5152076 For the best Hungarian food in the area you must visit with Margaret and Peter Pulhac's place. Food is very good at a equally good price.
