i like the idea of brick oven pizza or tomato pies then the gelato!
easiest way is turnpike to exit 11 in woodbridge for the gsp north to the
westfield exit.
anyone coming on the train can get picked up at trenton or metro park

i forgot about that.
harold's is exit 10 off the turnpike, then get back on for gelato!!!
actually we also have a great gelato place here
harold's might actually be easier for most to get to and the portions are so
big it's great for sharing
