First in the morning, was the annual Rahway River clean-up, sponsored by Main Street & the Lion's Club. There was a great turnout, particularly by Seton Hall students. Even Village President Newman was in the river pulling out trash. My daughter, in particular, 
had a great time being able to walk in the river. After doing it last year, she had been anxiously anticipating having the opportunity again this year. It was a fun event and a big Thank You to everyone for organizing and participating in the event.

After years of "Coming Soon", the market is finally scheduled for a "soft opening" on 
Wednesday (April 30) and a Grand Opening on May 9. The owners of the market held a fantastic party for their friends, family, local merchants and town officials to showcase the amazing space. On the ground floor is a spectacular market with amazing variety of fine foods (as well as essentials such as milk, butter, eggs, paper towels, toilet paper, cereal etc). In addition, there is a smoothie bar, fresh bakery, produce, meat, fish, salad bar and much more.

On the second floor, is a pizza oven along with prepared foods and tables for eating. There are also 2 huge patios (one adjacent to the train tracks and one behind the building. There are also plans coming before the Planning Board to approve a full sit-down restaurant with table service.
On the third floor is a huge space that will be used for events, parties etc. It is clear the owners spared no expense and tried to think of everything to accommodate all tastes. They are also incredibly committed to the community and have been incredibly generous already.
As someone commented to me, the opening of this market will be a huge positive change for South Orange and will only lead to better things. After seeing the amazing transformation from a run-down old Shop Rite to the new Eden Gourmet, I have to agree and hope this is the beginning of many more great things to come. I wish the proprietors of Eden Gourmet much success!
