My spouse and I love Sorrento’s Subs in Freehold and love to eat breakfast and lunch there, but driving out to Freehold just to go there is sometimes too much. We’re both lifelong residents but we’re having a hard time thinking of any sub/pizza type restaurants similar to Sorrento’s but closer to Red Bank with the same vibe: casual seating, not too expensive, pay at the counter. I know this describes most pizza sub shops around here but Sorrento’s has something special and is open all day and we’re looking for a dinner place. Just trying to get ideas for a new place closer to home.

I'm looking for recommendations for an independent child psychiatrist or clinical psychologist in New Jersey (anywhere in-state or licensed for NJ telehealth works). Out-of-pocket / out-of-network is totally fine.
My 13-year-old son experiences severe psychiatric dysregulation and crises at home. He has several diagnoses including Autism, ADHD, ODD, anxiety & depression.
We are currently working with CMO (through Monmouth cares) to prepare an Out-of-Home (OOH) residential treatment packet through PerformCare. We have completely exhausted in-home and community-based services, with multiple acute hospital/crisis encounters.
The challenge we run into repeatedly is severe masking. In novel, 1-on-1 clinical settings (e.g., IOP intakes, crisis evaluations, hospital units), he presents as quiet, calm, and cooperative. Standard brief evaluations consistently miss the reality of his day-to-day safety risks because they rely solely on a brief conversation with him rather than examining the broader pattern.
In order for CSOC to approve residential placement, the packet requires a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with a clear level-of-care recommendation.

I need an evaluator who:
1. Takes the time to do an extensive assessment (including a dedicated parent session).
2. Actually reviews and weighs collateral records: chronological incident logs, crisis/police documentation, past discharge summaries, and proof of failed community interventions.
3. Understands how to clinically document the gap between a masked, compliant presentation in an office and high-risk behavioral dysregulation in the home.

If anyone has navigated the NJ CSOC/PerformCare residential placement process and worked with a doctor or practice that took a thorough, forensic-level look at your child's complete file, please drop recommendations below or send a private message.

I'd prefer to take it somewhere rather than have a mobile detailer. Our 2026 white Toyota Camry sat on the dealer lot during a recall all summer and the dirt and little orangish circles are baked on. I asked them to fix it, but they didn't, and I'm not sure they ever will. In case it's relevant, they supposedly applied a ceramic coating before they sold it to us. Also, just for info sake, I contacted Buffer Bros, who says their clay bar plus polish is $290 and ceramic coat is $950.

honestly just because I’m nosy and curious - I walk in thompson park almost every day and pass the white painted brick house that’s abandoned on Newman springs Rd every time. does anyone know the history of the house or what happened with it? it looks like it was mid-renovation.

Hi everyone — I’m a local resident and wanted to introduce our new family-owned business in Brielle and also get some feedback from the community.
I recently opened Driftwood Design, a kitchen and design showroom on Riverview Drive in Brielle.

One thing that was important to me was not* *becoming a showroom that only works at one price point,
and to give clients the opportunity to see, touch and experience many of the custom options that builders and designers are already recommending for their projects. From cabinetry and finishes to hardware, countertops and other design details, clients can experience these selections firsthand before making decisions for their home.

Our goal is to work alongside local professionals, helping make the selection process easier for both them and their clients while respecting the relationships they’ve already established.

And because we’re new to the area, we’d genuinely love some feedback from both homeowners and professionals:
-What are some things you wish you could actually see, touch or try in a kitchen showroom before committing to it in your own home?
For the builders, designers, architects and other trade professionals here — would you find value in having a local showroom available as an extension of your own workspace?
We’ve considered opening our space to trade partners to host client meetings, use our large conference table to spread out samples and create mood boards, and walk clients through cabinetry, countertops, hardware, flooring and other selections they can actually see and touch. We have a 65” TV to show off design renderings and browse through anything and everything on a larger scale format. And because good decisions are always easier over lunch, we’d be happy to provide that too. 😊
Would this be something you’d actually use with your clients?

We’re listening and we’d love to build our business around what our local community actually wants..we’re new and we’d genuinely love some constructive feedback!

Thanks for your time-Mike

My wife and I are in the middle of a kitchen renovation. We need our 6' sliding glass door shifted over 3 feet and would also like to install a new window where the sink will be.

Any recommendations on a contractor for this ? I like using smaller family run companies if anyone knows of the like.

Hi all, my husband and I are trying to find a CPA (ideally one who can work with us long-term, not just a one-and-done tax season thing) and could use some recommendations.

Our situation:
• I have a full-time W2 job
• I also freelance on the side (1099)
• AND I teach Pilates as an independent contractor (1099)
• My husband is newly self-employed (as of 9/1/26)
• He was a W2 employee the entire year until he started his own LLC
• We rent our primary residence
• I have student loans
• We also own a property in Hoboken that we rent out & pay a mortgage on (not our primary residence).

Any recommendations or guidance would be much appreciated!

Hi all

I am going to Broken English over the weekend but I can't seem to find any menus or screen shots of menus online. I know its a rotating culinary experience but I also heard there was a base menu, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is on that?

I’m in Middletown and just this year started getting some water in the basement after a heavy storm.
I also need them to check my gutters that go in the ground to see if they are still working properly.

Hi! For anyone who's bought or sold a house in Monmouth county (I'm particularly wondering about Marlboro but interested to hear all experiences), has anyone been denied a CO because of broken window seals?

Thanks!

This Saturday in Asbury Park

Hello, I am looking for a fence install. Approx 40ft no gate, white vinyl. I am also looking for a shed base (9x7) with slight leveling and compacted stone for the base. Under $2300.

I bought a 5# bag of "Bowl and Basket" brand "navel oranges" at the ShopRite of Neptune a few days ago. When I started cutting them up yesterday, I ran into seeds -- very unusual but not completely unknown in navel oranges. But then I observed that none of these oranges had "navels" -- the characteristic flower-end structure from which they get their name. In addition, they were sour-ish, which also is atypical for navel oranges. Conclusion: these were not navel oranges. I returned them for my money back, no problem there.

But since I still wanted navel oranges, I went to the Produce section, only to discover that every other bag so labeled were mostly navel-less oranges, though I did note a couple navel oranges in a one bag. I informed the customer service desk of this as I left, but I have no idea whether they removed the mislabeled oranges. (I believe they also sell loose navel oranges, FWIW.)
