Hearty Fare, Cool Drinks and Lasses in Plaid -A Peek inside the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery
 By Sally Deering
 At the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery in Hoboken, owner Nirav Patel gives his customers a big bang for their buck: hearty portions, an extensive beer list and 39 flatscreen TVs. As an added bonus, the waitresses don uniforms that are a mix of Scottish lass and sports bar hottie. It’s all in good taste, Patel says. He prefers to compare the Tilted Kilt to the bar on TVs “Cheers†a neighborhood hangout where everybody knows your name.
 “We’re a pub,†Patel says on a recent afternoon. “I’m not into the Hooters thing. I’m the brother of three sisters and my sisters come here all the time because the food is amazing. In fact my middle sister is my partner in the Jersey City Tilted Kilt I’m opening. I would never do this concept if it was degrading to women.â€
 And although the waitresses are eye-catching in their plaid uniforms, the dishes are the stars at the Tilted Kilt served in portions that are flavorful and generous. Continue reading Hearty Fare, Cool Drinks and Lasses in Plaid -A Peek inside the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery

GDIFF
 In October 2012, the second annual Golden Door International Film Festival of Jersey City lit up screens at the Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre and other venues where films from all over the world premiered and winners chosen. On Sat, March 16th, the festival’s Executive Director Bill Sorvino presents “The Best of the Fest†where three films from the Golden Door International Film Festival will have encore screenings at Art House Productions in Jersey City.
Â
The feature film to be shown is “Maybe Tomorrow†directed by Michael Wolfe and starring Wolfe, Dominik Tiefenthaler and Paul Lange. At the Golden Door, the film won Best Picture, Best Lead Actor, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay. The film centers on the friendship between three men and the test their friendship endures when they become involved in a crime that ultimately changes their lives forever.
 Â
Next on the bill is “Pollination*† a short film about the special life of plants by filmmaker Sam Borowski and starring Federico Castelluccio (of “The Sopranosâ€) and Chris Kattan.Â
Â
Rounding out the evening is “My Time with the English Tourist,†a short documentary by Jersey City resident John Dunstan that won the Audience Choice award. The film short is a 13-minute valentine to Jersey City’s Liberty State Park and the wildlife that resides there as seen through Dunstan’s camera lens during walks with his English bulldog Tommy.
 “These three films were chosen across the spectrum,†Sorvino says. “The feature film, ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ is a powerhouse movie starring Michael Wolfe. John’s film is a short documentary about the walks he took with his dog and the beautiful wildlife in Liberty State Park. It’s a great film. And Sam’s film ‘Pollination*’ packs a 7-minute wallop.’ Continue reading Golden Door Does Its Best Film Festival’s ‘Best of’ to be Screened at Art House Productions in Jersey City
