I'm still on my quest to find the almost perfect tuna melt and, in the process, found a pretty good pizza, too. The Park Pub in Nutley, New Jersey (789 Bloomfield Avenue, 973-235-0696) is a place where I rarely ventured prior to this past summer. I fact, the last time I'd walked in the building was back in 1987 for a bachelor party. We're regulars now, normally visiting during weekday afternoons for lunch. However, for this particular trip, Lucille and I made Friday night plans for dinner. Judi was our server, and my order was a favorite sandwich of mine: a tuna melt. At Park Pub, they prepare it well. It arrives at the table as pictured below, with a steak knife for carving. This is definitely not my style. For Lucille, she opted for something that was highly recommended to us a few months prior, and which we have enjoyed before, a Park Pub bar pie. It was every bit as thick and delicious as it looked. Although the Park Pub has a small but variety-filled menu, Lucille and I know -- and Park Pub servers know, especially Steve during the weekday lunch hours -- what we will indeed select each time we visit. I also thank Park Pub for providing fresh popcorn to its diners when they visit. Grab a seat or barstool, then grab a bowl and reach into the authentic popcorn stand and fill that bowl with hot, fresh-popped kernels of corn. The Park Pub is a nice, convenient, nearby eatery, and lunch time is often quieter than dinner and Happy Hour, when the after work crowd shuffles in. However, comfortable seats are plenty in the rear of the establishment for a more tranquil meal time.
