Verona


Fair Verona is where we next lay our scene.

Amazing Hot Dog, at 148A, looks interesting. It serves 12 different kinds of hot dogs, plus other grill items, but since I don't like hot dogs I don't go in.

Apparently there are such things as bartending schools, and Verona plays host to one called Mix 'Em Up.

Verona park is a nice place with a bunch of walking paths. In the summer, you can rent a paddle boat and go out on the pond.

I wasn't originally intending to stop at Di Paolo Bakery, #695, but the wonderful smell assaulted me from a block away. I had to go in. Inside is wall-to-wall desserts, including a huge selection of Italian pastries, which I hate but everyone else in New Jersey seems to like. I got a chocolate-frosted donut and a bottle of water for $1.60. This place totally seduces you.

This building always looked so interesting - it's painted baby blue and shaped like a wedge. I found out that it's called the Flatiron Building.
