Blue Hen Bites at Over Easy
They always say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Well Blue Hens, a new breakfast place has opened on Main Street.
The picture above is of Jay’s Fried Eggs. It has fried eggs over sourdough toast topped with a combo of tomatoes and onions that carry a spicy kick to it. It is the perfect portion size, leaving you just on the side full and completely satisfied. I can’t remember being so pleased by a meal on Main Street in a long time.
Over Easy Cafe opened in early April and isn’t like any other place in Newark. Over Easy offers breakfast and brunch items all day. The menu may be small, but do not let that fool you. All the items are unique, fresh, and has a different ethnic flair.
Other items include a Bombay omelet complete with a side of naan, or Indian bread. There’s a meat lovers omelet to satisfy any carnivore. Gluten free options are expected to be added to the menu over the summer, too.
If the unique menu isn’t enough to draw you in the décor inside and customer service should. The couches and chairs are comfy and warm. There are swinging basket chairs that add fun to any meal. And the service is by far the best on Main Street. The owner is a sweet, caring young woman who will be best friends with you by the time you leave.
Wake up early on the weekend for brunch or have breakfast for dinner. Either way, Over Easy is the easy choice.
Here’s a comparison of the Rodney staircase in the 1960s and last year! Has anyone else taken this picture?

Blue Hen Bites: Peace a Pizza
We all love pizza. And we all love mac and cheese. Did you know you can have both?
Peace a Pizza offers a wide array of unique pizzas—including mac and cheese pizza! If mac and cheese isn’t what you’re craving, you could get chicken parmesan pizza or even Philly cheesesteak!
I know a lot of you get pizza at Margherita’s because you’re craving that New York style pizza—but give Peace a Pizza a shot.
The staff is always friendly, they’re open late on the weekends, they have cookies for dessert, and do I really need to say it again: mac and cheese pizza!
