A birthday bike ride … where do we stop?
A friend wanted to celebrate a birthday with a bike ride. So we put together this 22-mile loop with two possible shade breaks — at a winery and a brewery.
Which would we choose?

You need lots superlatives when describing this Hindu temple, or Mandir, in Central Jersey. Largest outside India is one.

I’m nominating Ashton Brewing in Middlesex Borough as the place to find some really weird — as in unusual, in the nicest way — beers.
